You can spend as little as �200 on a FIA approved suit.
I think it’s okay to wear a X-Light 300 in the pitlane as long as you don’t look like this

That was my old cheapie sparco suit that is now over 5 years old, and hence not FIA legal - I have a black extra-light now - after all, black is the best colour !!

What stopped it being approved?
Regulations say that once they are over five years old they are not ‘race legal’ anymore…
I’m sure that nomex does not lose it’s fireproofness though, so does anyone want to buy it ???
I am five foot 8 1/2 inches high, if that helps!!
