Protection

Driver Protection at Go Kart Center

Lateral forces in corners and contact with the seat put stress on the neck and the ribs, especially for young drivers and anyone who drives often. Neck collars from Speed support the neck and reduce fatigue, while rib protectors from Speed and Bengio protect the rib cage. Both should fit closely without restricting breathing or movement.

Neck and rib protection

Neck collars support the neck and reduce fatigue from the lateral forces in corners, especially for younger drivers. Rib protectors protect the rib cage from contact with the seat and from impacts, which is important for drivers who spend a lot of time on track. Both should fit closely without restricting breathing or movement.

The complete driver kit

Comfort and safety in a kart come from the whole kit working together: a helmet that fits, a suit that lets you move freely, gloves for grip, thin-soled shoes for pedal feel, and for many drivers a neck collar and rib protector. Each piece reduces fatigue, and a driver who is less tired is more consistent and safer on track. If you are building a kit from scratch, start with the helmet and gloves and add the rest as you drive more.

Caring for your gear

Wash suits according to the label, usually at a low temperature with a mild detergent and without fabric softener, and let them dry in the shade. Gloves and shoes should be aired after every session so they dry out, and stored away from direct sunlight. Check seams, closures and soles regularly and replace equipment that is worn, since worn gear protects less and gives less grip.

Gear for every kind of karting

Rental and leisure karting, karting schools and club racing all benefit from proper driver equipment. Many tracks provide basic gear, but your own equipment fits better, is more hygienic and gives more confidence. For official competitions, check the regulations of the championship, which define the homologation required for suits, helmets and other equipment.
