Racing Suits
What are racing suits made of?
Many racing suits are made of DuPont® Nomex® fabric, a synthetic material favored for its fire-retardant properties. Others are manufactured using Pyrovatex® FRC material, which protects against heat and flame and is also machine-washable.
Are racing suits fireproof?
Racing suits are not fireproof, but instead are fire-retardant: They protect against heat and flame and are designed to resist burning for 20 to 30 seconds, giving the driver the opportunity to escape or be rescued.
