For racing you must have the appropriate clothing. Suits must be CIK homologated to Level 1 or Level 2; car racing suits are not suitable as they are not abrasion resistant. The CIK approval numbers (to be found on the back of the collar) are No. 2001-1 or No. 2013-1
Helmets must have at least one of the following approval:
Snell K2010, SA2010, K2015, SA2015, CMR2007, CMS2007, CMR2016, CMS2016
