The Auto Sale collection features discounted car racing clothing and footwear from Alpinestars' automotive and karting range. This includes racing suits, driving gloves, racing boots, karting-specific gear, technical underlayers, and protective equipment designed for circuit racing, rally, karting, and sim racing disciplines. All products maintain Alpinestars' championship-proven standards for safety and performance.
Many suits in the Auto Sale collection carry FIA homologation certifications required for professional and competitive motorsport. Homologation levels vary by product and intended use—from entry-level karting to FIA 8856-2018 standards for professional circuit racing. Check individual product specifications for exact certification details, as homologation requirements differ between karting, club racing, and professional motorsport categories.
Auto racing gear from Alpinestars follows European sizing standards and is designed for a performance-oriented fit that accommodates safety equipment and allows freedom of movement in racing positions. Racing suits should fit snugly without restricting motion, while gloves and boots require precise sizing for pedal feel and control. Consult the size charts provided with each product, and consider that racing suits are typically worn over fireproof underlayers which affect fit. For professional competition, ensure your gear meets both size requirements and relevant FIA homologation standards.
Yes, the Auto Sale collection includes gear suitable for various motorsport applications. Track day participants can find FIA-certified suits, gloves, and boots that meet circuit safety requirements, while sim racing enthusiasts can choose from racing gloves and footwear designed for precision pedal control and extended session comfort. Product suitability depends on your specific venue's safety regulations—professional competition requires full FIA homologation, while track days and sim racing typically have more flexible requirements. The collection spans entry-level karting gear through professional-grade racing equipment.
Auto racing gear requires specialized care to maintain safety certifications and material integrity. Racing suits constructed with Nomex and other flame-resistant materials should be washed according to manufacturer guidelines—typically cold water, gentle cycle, and air drying to preserve fire-retardant properties. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and high-heat drying which can compromise protective qualities. Leather racing gloves and boots benefit from specialized leather conditioners. Always inspect gear for damage after incidents, as impact or exposure to flames may require replacement even if visible damage is minimal. Proper care extends gear lifespan while maintaining FIA certification validity.
