Andy - a15cro Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 😮 My WSCC jacket would be welded to me! I can see the benefit in this, and I would happily oblige, but surely this should be across the board for all vehicles to avoid any confusion. Im guessing other track day companies will be following (racing) suit! Should I start saving up now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenD Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'm in the process of buying the full kit. Plus a plumbed in fire extinguisher. Better to have it and not need it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I start saving up now? does make sense, but yeah i agree it should be for all classes not just kits, tintops burn as well as a kit can imo, admittedly fibreglass bodies dont help but a tintop is more likely to have a full interior - carpets and all that.

Richard (OldStager) Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 for those that wont buy a suit, i wonder if they will demand you show proof of a factory build, still makes no sense however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy - a15cro Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I’ve just read through a load of comments on the Facebook page, and someone, made a point that struck home to me. I wore a one piece leather suit and all the protective gear on my bike track days, it actually saved me in a spill at Cadwell. I went for the best I could afford at the time, and most definitely the boots stopped me from breaking my ankle. I have never really given the Westfield much thought when it comes to Trackdays, apart from a good helmet! I would have been more concerned about turning up in a suit and looking a bit of a plumb, and how ridiculous is that! Maybe a little bit of complacency has crept in, being in a car.
