if you go ahead and google drivers suit or search the same on the honda-tech search function youll find even more options.

now weather or not you want to use a 3 layer or single layer and nomex underwear is up to you. are you actually going wheel to wheel or what?

Get the lightest suit that you can afford. I started with a Sparco Sprint 5 and it was like wearing a snowmobile suit. I was sweating before I even entered the car. I now have a Sparco X-light 300, its like wearing pajamas, I love it.

Even in the summer with a cool shirt I was uncomfortable with the Sprint, but I do live in Arizona and we race all summer.

Some of the European suits will fit a little different so you should try one on before you buy. There is nothing like having your suit bind your shoulders all race long, you will get claustrophobic real quick.

Get the most expensive one you can afford. And get a 3 layer for safety.
