Track day: mandatory equipment based on your car

Trackday does not mean no rules. The FFSA has updated its equipment requirements for open track days. It all depends on your car.

Production car with a valid MOT/technical inspection, or modified production car with a maximum 6-point bolt-in roll cage.

• Mandatory: helmet with at least CE homologation (full-face with visor if the car has no windshield).
• Strongly recommended: FHR system (with FIA helmet) for cars with a maximum 6-point bolt-in roll cage.
• Recommended: fire-retardant balaclava and underwear, fire-retardant suit and gloves.

Case 2: prepared or competition car

Bolt-in roll cage with more than 6 points, 6-point or more welded roll cage, or competition car.

• Mandatory: FIA-homologated helmet (full-face with visor if no windshield).
• Mandatory: FHR system for all cars from 1977 onwards and all open-top cars.
• Mandatory: FIA-homologated fire-retardant suit and fire-retardant gloves.
• Recommended: FIA-standard fire-retardant balaclava and underwear.
