4-19. Drivers must wear approved fire protective apparel and safety device/s with a minimum equipment level of: Crash helmet (open face helmets are allowed although we recommend full face), racing overalls, racing boots, gloves and balaclava.

Optional equipment recommendation: Fire proof undergarments and HANS device.

Crash helmets must bear one of the following standards: FIA8860-2004, SNELL SA2005, SNELL SA2000, SFI 31.1A. 31.2A, BS6658 Type A/FR, BS6658-85 Type A.

NO other helmet standards are allowed – helmets made to these standards are advertised at under £60 from a motorsport mail order retailer – BDC/EDC scrutineer can provide a link if requested.

Helmets must have a non removable blue foil sticker confirming their suitability for motorsport – these will be applied by the championship scrutineer after inspection (for a small fee - £1)
this will ensure pit lane officials can quickly check that unsuitable helmets are not used on the track.

Overalls must have labels confirming they conform to one of the following: FIA1986 , FIA8856-2000 , EN533:1995 index 3 , BSEN533 or BS6249 part1 index A or B ( NOT index C).

As a competitor you are reminded to ensure that your crash helmet is correct fitment and of a usable standard and condition.
