thanks so much for the help. I live in usa though so Im going to look for those in US dealers images/smilies/wink.gif

Doesn't the Stig wear Apline Star race suits?

v0od0o · July 24th, 2006, 10:15 AM

And the Stig's helmet is Arai if I remember correctly.

BlitzR · July 24th, 2006, 10:19 AM

The helmet is definately Simpson. The Arai helmet was worn by "F1 Stig".

v0od0o · July 24th, 2006, 10:27 AM

Yeah I actually recall it from the F1 clip but I thought it'd be the same as the one he usually wears.

And what's up with those Simpson people, why are they selling a helmet that is neither road nor motorsport legal images/smilies/wacko.gif

BlitzR · July 24th, 2006, 10:37 AM

They might be helmets for Autocross or tracks days, but they do sell motorsport helmets.

triumph · July 24th, 2006, 03:51 PM

In EUROPE You can buy Bandit helmets which is are copies of Simpson helmets but a lot cheaper.

Scud · July 24th, 2006, 06:27 PM

In the last episode Stig had an Arai helmet on the way to Scotland.

Its possible that he opted for a different helmet. The simpson might offer a lot of drag in an open topped car on a 400 mile trip. That can get really fatiguing very quickly.

As for the suit, I think this is the one:

They seem to swap between an AlpineStars suit, and a Jay's suit.... I wounder if this would be a way of telling the difference between the two stigs, they'd definatly have thier own suits....

I'd agree with that. I think it was Damon Hill that said there were multiple Stigs. But maybe it's just a clever trick by the producers images/smilies/wink.gif

I've heard those Simpson helmets are usually bought by drag contesters but who cares images/smilies/biggrin.gif

their helmets are quite expensive tho, around 400$.

those suits don't come very cheap , they're fire resistant, and the straps on the shoulders should be able to hold your weight

maybe if it's only for fun you might somewhere fine a crap one which isn't allowed in racing

yep...however, you can buy karting suits which are not fireproof for around $200

bone · July 27th, 2006, 09:42 AM

^a friend recently got a fully approved one for 250€

for that little price difference, i'd go for a decent one images/smilies/wink.gif

likus · July 27th, 2006, 10:13 PM

just wondering... why isn't the Bandit road or motorsport legal? isn't it safe enough or what?

takahashi · August 6th, 2006, 11:49 AM

Bandit are SA2000 standardised.

Unless you are in Formula 1, you are ok for any rally, touring cars and certainly ok for club sprints.
