What does a year in this sport look like?

The racing year has 18 races held at 6 locations (for details see the events page). A typical racing weekend starts on Friday with testing and free practice. On Saturday, qualifying and the first race are held. On Sunday, races two and three finish the weekend. Outside of the race weekends, there are individual practices with the team called “tests”. Before the official racing season, there is often a winter series with 6 races at 2 locations.

What equipment do you wear?

I wear FIA approved fire-resistant clothing. My socks, pants, shirt, head-sock, gloves, and race suit are all made of fire resistant Nomex. My helmet is made of carbon fiber. My Hans device is made from carbon fiber and prevents me from getting whiplash. My shoes are flat-bottomed with no padding. This allows me to apply the correct amount of pressure to the pedal without the padding to dampen my senses.
