Cool Racing
Gear, Tinted Visors and Race Suits Make You Faster!
Do you know any
seriously quick drivers who show up with dodgy looking racewear,
cheapy crash helmets or plain looking karts? Well I don't
so if you want to get down with the quick crew, you better
check out the EvenFlow Guide to Looking Cool in a Kart.
Because when drivers look good with
all their favourite cool racewear, they feel much better...and
in my experience, a driver who really cares how he and his
kart looks also really loves his karting...and that is something
that seperates the men from the boys.....the right look really
does count!

| Martyn Lyell recently rolled his kart
and bust a rib, but he and his dad were more gutted that
he ruined his nice new helmet design, and ripped his JKH
suit!! |
Now I imagine lots of people proclaiming
'What the hell has tarting up your appearance got to do with
going fast!!!' And in theory they are right because a great
looking driver with smart racewear has no actual physical
advantage, obviously.
But in reality they are WRONG , people aren't
perfectly logical, and putting effort into co-ordinating your
racewear and spending out on a nice crash helmet and visor
is a sign of something else, something intangible, and that
is how much you love your karting- not just the driving but
the whole of the karting experience.
And that includes driving, sitting at home
looking at karting magazine over and over, cleaning and re-cleaning
your kart, studying the best drivers from video's, messing
around with stickers so your kart looks immaculate and so
on. And this has a real psychologial effect, your affection
for your kart and the whole appearance of it fosters commitment
and confidence. And this translates to better kart
driving performance!
Steps to getting the right racewear
and looking good
 Racewear
item 1. Iridium visor or Dark Smoked
for your crash helmet. You can't get cooler than an iridium! |
|
 Racewear
item 2. A proper motor sport crash
helmet, not a bike one! A nice crash helmet
(Arai is the favourite) is a must, and a striking and
tasteful paint job can set you apart from the lesser
karters!

 Racewear
item 3. A race suit which matches
your kart. Rediculous in terms of cost...but they look
pukka, my vote goes to the Intrepid suits, and also a
nod to the Birel ones. However, some driver's like Stuart
Sellars look wicked without the team suits, but he carries
plenty of smart badges on it. team ART know the value
of looking good, and have splashed out on custom team
suits, and see, they have all found themselves a bird
each just because they have cool suits! |
