Fire Suit

A Fire Suit is a specialized protective garment worn by drivers, crew members, and officials in motorsport to provide protection against fire and heat during racing incidents.

Made from fire-resistant materials like Nomex, these suits are designed to withstand flames for critical seconds, giving the wearer time to escape or be rescued. Modern fire suits feature multiple layers for enhanced protection, with ratings that indicate how long they can prevent second-degree burns.

Fire suits are mandatory in most forms of racing and are typically worn with other protective gear like fire-resistant underwear, gloves, and balaclavas. They come in various designs, from single-piece overalls to two-piece sets, and are available in different certification standards, including FIA and SFI ratings.
