Racing Brake Lines, Hoses & Fittings

What happens during a pit stop takes place in a matter of seconds. That means everything has to be in the right place within easy reach, the equipment has to be up and running, and the crew has to be ready. All crewmen should wear appropriate protective gear. By nature, racing environments are very dangerous, so safety is in the first place for the driver and every pit crew member. Because every second counts, the outfit should not restrict the mechanic’s movements. It should also be durable enough to withstand wear and tear from kneeling and exposure to oil, fuel, grease, etc. Last but not least, it gives your crew a professional look.

Sanctioning bodies have different requirements for mechanics gear and outfit, but if yours does not mandate a helmet, it’s strongly recommended that a crewman wear it anyway. Pit accidents do happen, and the likelihood of head injury is much higher for those who don’t wear a helmet than for those who do. Typically, specifically designed pit helmets either already have a built-in radio headset or allow for its easy accommodation. In races that involve fueling up, there is a high risk of fire, so team members have to be protected by fire retardant gear, including underwear, head sock, full fire suit, and gloves.

The success of a race depends on the lightning-fast and synchronized work of a pit crew. It’s said that competitions are won and lost on pit lanes, so the ability of every mechanic to move freely the entire time and have everything at hand, easy to grab, cannot be stressed enough.
