stephenh Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 I have an OMP Nomex race suit, red, for sale. This was an FIA approved spec., 8856-2000, manufactered 2010. I'm not sure if this is still ok for competition, but should be ideal for trackdays. It fits me, and for those who don't know me, It would suit someone around 6 feet height, and of "fuller" figure! I have no idea what it is worth really, but I'd let it go for £30, collected, or plus carriage otherwise. I also have Nomex socks and balacalva available for a nominal price if of interest.
Simon Waterfall Syman84 Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 Still currently OK regulations wise for sprints so ideal for someone who wants to dip the toe and have a go. 1
Tim Essex Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 Ignore my previous - have just read your post - be far too large for me. Best of luck selling....
Craigib76 Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 pm me with the cost of the extras and postage please regards Craig
Onliest Smeg David Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 Valid until end of 2028 "The new homologation is FIA 8856-2018. If you are lucky enough to compete in Formula E, F1, WRC, WEC, F2 World RX etc then this new homologation will apply to you from now (2019-2020). That said, if you are competing at the highest levels of Motorsport, you’re probably getting your suit for free from the manufacturers, so this won’t change anything. For all other FIA sanctioned events you will require this new homologation from 1st January 2029 – So if you do compete in these events, your current race wear homologated to FIA 8856-2000 is still completely valid for a good few years yet."
stephenh Posted May 18, 2021 Author Posted May 18, 2021 Craig, will do. I'll have to go to the Post office to get a price, so give me a day or two. There are 2 pair of nomex socks, in good condition, and washed! Can't remember what sizes they cover, but they fitted my feet and I'm size 10. I suppose an extra £10 for the socks, and the balacalva thrown in for free. Also, somewhere I've got a pair of XL size nomex gloves, which are well worn, but quite usable, which for the whole lot as a package I'll throw in for free, IF I can find the gloves. Probably in with my boots, but I haven't looked yet. The boots are more or less worn out, so I won't be offering them.
Craigib76 Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 Hi Stephen, no worries on the couple of days, boots are too big for me lol i have a pair already so no real worry Regards Craig
