It is not appropriate to wear in public.
A good race suit is essential for core racers who are hardcore. It must protect you but also be comfortable. McLaren has teamed up with Sparco to create a McLaren SP16+ race suit that is at least 10% lighter than the average suit. The McLaren F1 Racing Team drivers wore the suit since 2016. You can also own it for $3,009 (PS2,344 at current exchange rate). Although the suit is expensive, it looks great. You can also customize the suits with the automaker.
Each suit is handcrafted in Italy and takes 12 hours to complete. As McLaren’s cars can be customized, so can the suit. This is not all. McLaren can also add features like side pockets, belts, and phone pockets–perfect for night out. McLaren can match your suit with any race team livery or other design you desire.
To see where weight could be reduced, every detail was examined. The SP16+ suit has an ultra-ultra slim zipper, reduced neck, shoulder pads, ultra thin stitching, seamless Nomex wrists, ankles, and seamless Nomex knees. A unique two-layer fireproof material construction helps to reduce the suit’s weight.
Although a 10 percent weight loss may seem small, it can make it more comfortable to wear over longer periods of time. Most people won’t buy a suit to wear out as regular wear, as they do with automobile-branded apparel. The right suit for your race could be quite beautiful.
