Sparco Prime Driver Race Suit
$2,300.00
Sparco Prime Driver Racing Suit
The Sparco Prime Driver Racing Suit is an ultralight professional racing suit developed to provide exceptional fire protection, breathability, and driver comfort. Originally developed for the McLaren Formula One team, every component has been optimized to reduce weight without sacrificing the protection required for competitive motorsports.
The Prime features a three-layer construction made with proprietary Sparco materials and premium DuPont Nomex fibers. Its specialized outer layer uses a double-faced Nomex Comfort mesh woven with Sparco’s Kompact system, creating a lightweight and breathable structure with effective anti-static properties.
Pre-curved arms and legs place the suit in a natural driving position, while an inner-thigh stretch panel improves mobility and reduces restriction inside the cockpit. Lightweight components, flattened stitching, and reduced padding help create a close, comfortable fit for sprint races, endurance events, and professional competition.
Ultralight Three-Layer Construction
The Sparco Prime uses an advanced three-layer construction engineered to reduce weight while maintaining dependable fire-resistant protection. Each layer is optimized to provide a balance of safety, breathability, and comfort during demanding racing conditions.
DuPont Nomex Comfort Outer Layer
The third outer layer is made from double-faced mesh constructed with original DuPont Nomex Comfort fibers. Sparco’s Kompact weaving system creates a breathable, lightweight fabric that contains a high percentage of anti-static fibers.
Pre-Curved Driving Position
Pre-curved arms and legs allow the suit to follow the driver’s natural seated position. This reduces material bunching around the elbows, knees, and hips while helping improve mobility during steering, shifting, and pedal operation.
Inner-Thigh Stretch Panel
A strategically positioned stretch panel along the inner thigh provides greater flexibility and comfort. The stretch construction allows the legs to move naturally and helps reduce pressure during long periods behind the wheel.
Lightweight Zipper and Collar
An ultra-slim zipper and reduced-profile collar help minimize unnecessary weight and bulk. The streamlined construction sits comfortably beneath a helmet and head-and-neck restraint system while maintaining a professional race-ready fit.
Seamless Wrist and Ankle Cuffs
Soft Nomex and viscose cuffs provide a close, comfortable fit around the wrists and ankles. Their seamless construction helps reduce pressure points and irritation during extended driving sessions.
Flattened Stitching
Thinner thread and flattened seams are used throughout the suit to reduce weight and improve comfort. The low-profile stitching minimizes bulky areas that can create pressure between the driver, seat, belts, and cockpit.

Sparco K-Arrow+ Kart Racing Gloves | FIA 8877-2022
$95.00
Sparco K-Arrow+ Kart Racing Gloves
The Sparco K-Arrow+ Kart Racing Gloves deliver the close steering feel, dependable grip, and pressure-reducing comfort serious kart racers need. Updated to meet the FIA 8877-2022 karting standard, the K-Arrow+ combines a lightweight stretch construction with pre-curved fingers, external seams, and Sparco’s ultra-grip silicone palm.
An anatomically shaped palm helps reduce material bunching around the primary steering-wheel contact areas, while the externally stitched fingers and thumb create a smoother interior. Touch-S technology on the index finger also allows drivers to operate many compatible touchscreen devices without removing their gloves.
FIA 8877-2022 Karting Homologation
The Sparco K-Arrow+ is homologated to the FIA 8877-2022 standard for karting apparel. This current approval makes the gloves suitable for karting championships and events that require FIA-compliant protective equipment.
Equipment requirements can differ between sanctioning organizations, classes, and competition levels. Drivers should confirm the current technical regulations for their specific series before entering an event.
Ultra-Grip Silicone Palm
A high-traction silicone pattern is applied across the palm to create a secure connection with the steering wheel. The grip surface helps limit unwanted hand movement during heavy braking, rapid direction changes, and high-load corners.
Because the grip is applied as a low-profile print, it increases traction without placing a thick reinforcement layer between the driver and wheel. This preserves the steering feedback needed to recognize changes in front-tire grip and chassis balance.
Anatomically Shaped Palm
The palm is constructed to follow the natural contours of the hand while gripping a kart steering wheel. This anatomical design helps minimize folds, excess material, and pressure around the major contact areas.
A closer palm fit allows the glove and hand to move together more consistently, improving steering sensitivity and reducing distractions during demanding sessions.
Pre-Curved Finger Construction
The K-Arrow+ uses pre-curved fingers shaped around the position the hand naturally assumes while driving. This design reduces the effort needed to close the hand around the wheel and helps prevent material from bunching at the finger joints.
Reducing resistance through the fingers can improve comfort during long races, repeated heats, testing sessions, and endurance karting events.
External Finger and Thumb Seams
External seams move bulky stitching away from the interior contact areas of the fingers. The K-Arrow+ also uses an externally stitched thumb to reduce pressure in an area that remains in constant contact with the steering wheel.
This seam arrangement creates a smoother internal fit and can help prevent rubbing, irritation, and hot spots during extended use.
Lightweight Stretch Construction
Flexible upper materials allow the glove to follow the movement of the hand without creating unnecessary stiffness. The close-fitting construction supports precise steering inputs while helping prevent loose material from shifting around the fingers.
Its lightweight design also makes the K-Arrow+ well suited to physically demanding races and warm track conditions where a heavier glove may become uncomfortable.
Touch-S Compatible Index Finger
Sparco Touch-S material on the index finger allows the driver to operate many compatible smartphones, tablets, timing devices, and data displays without removing the glove.
This feature is useful between sessions when reviewing lap times, checking schedules, adjusting timing applications, or communicating with team members.
Secure Elasticated Wrist
An elasticated wrist helps keep the glove securely positioned during rapid steering movements. The flexible opening allows quick entry while maintaining a close fit once the glove is on.
The streamlined wrist eliminates the bulk of a large external adjustment strap and supports unrestricted movement between the hand and forearm.

How the K-Arrow+ Differs from the Previous K-Arrow
The K-Arrow+ is the updated version developed to comply with the FIA 8877-2022 karting standard. It retains the lightweight feel, pre-curved construction, external seams, and high-grip palm that made the earlier K-Arrow popular.
For racers participating in championships that require the newer FIA standard, the K-Arrow+ is the appropriate version to consider. Owners of the previous model should verify whether its older certification remains accepted by their series.
K-Arrow+ or K-Tide+: Which Sparco Glove Is Better?
The K-Arrow+ emphasizes lightweight construction, a low-profile silicone palm, and direct steering feedback. It is well suited to racers who prefer a thinner connection with the wheel and minimal material between the hand and steering rim.
The Sparco K-Tide+ uses a more structured 3D HTX palm designed to provide greater vibration absorption and cushioning. Drivers seeking maximum sensitivity may prefer the K-Arrow+, while racers wanting additional vibration damping may favor the K-Tide+.
Who Should Choose the Sparco K-Arrow+?
The K-Arrow+ is a strong choice for sprint racers, endurance competitors, and drivers who experience discomfort from conventional internal finger seams. Its pre-curved shape and external stitching make it particularly suitable for long sessions requiring repeated high-load steering inputs.
It is also a practical option for youth racers because Sparco offers dedicated sizes 4 through 6 in addition to the adult range.
Sparco K-Arrow+ Kart Racing Glove Size Chart
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Sparco K-Arrow+ use an HTX palm?No. The K-Arrow+ uses Sparco’s ultra-grip silicone palm. The raised 3D HTX palm is associated with models such as the Sparco K-Tide+.
Is the K-Arrow+ legal for FIA karting competition?The glove is homologated to FIA 8877-2022. Drivers should still confirm that their exact championship, class, and event accept the listed homologation.
What changed from the original Sparco K-Arrow?The K-Arrow+ is the updated model designed to comply with the newer FIA 8877-2022 karting standard while retaining the lightweight construction, external seams, pre-curved fit, and high-grip palm concept.
Is the K-Arrow+ heavily padded?No. It prioritizes direct steering feel and a lightweight connection with the wheel rather than thick cushioning. Drivers seeking greater vibration damping may prefer the Sparco K-Tide+.
Why is the thumb seam positioned externally?Moving the thumb seam outside reduces stitching pressure in an area that remains in frequent contact with the wheel. This can improve comfort during long sessions.
Will the silicone palm make it difficult to reposition my hands?The palm provides strong traction, so drivers may need to lift the hand slightly rather than slide it across the steering wheel. This secure grip is beneficial during aggressive steering inputs.
Does the touchscreen material cover both the thumb and index finger?Sparco’s current official description identifies Touch-S compatibility on the index finger. Device responsiveness can vary depending on the screen and screen protector.
Are youth sizes available?Yes. Sparco lists youth sizes 4 through 6, followed by adult sizes 7 through 13.
Do the K-Arrow+ Gloves run tighter than ordinary gloves?They are designed for a close competition fit. Use your hand measurement and the Sparco chart rather than selecting solely from your casual glove size.
What should I do if my palm fits but the fingers are too long?Excess space at the fingertips can reduce steering sensitivity. Try the smaller size only if it does not compress the palm, restrict circulation, or force the fingers to curl.
Are these suitable for endurance karting?Yes. The pre-curved fingers and external seams are designed to reduce pressure and fatigue during long races. Drivers wanting additional vibration cushioning may prefer the K-Tide+.
Can the Sparco K-Arrow+ be used for sim racing?Yes. Its silicone grip, external seams, and lightweight feel can work well for sim racing, although its FIA homologation and construction are intended primarily for kart competition.
How should the silicone palm be cleaned?Gently hand wash the gloves in cool water with mild soap. Avoid scrubbing the silicone aggressively, and allow the gloves to air dry away from direct heat.
How can I prevent premature grip wear?Use the gloves primarily for driving and avoid handling tools, rough bodywork, exposed fasteners, or abrasive surfaces. Store them only after they are fully dry.

The Motorsports Camera With A Full Data Logger Built In
All data received by the AiM SmartyCam3 Corsa from both the CAN bus and its own internal sensors are recorded in mp4 files produced at the end of your stint or session. Your SD (or Micro SD) card contains all the information you need for a deep data analysis. (SD and Micro SD cards are sold separately.)
The video of a whole session, once downloaded on your PC, can now be split with a simple click into individual videos of each lap. So now you can simultaneously watch two side-by-side to see where you were faster or slower.
The same operation can be performed with a SmartyCam3 Sport video recorded on the same track. You'll be able to compare your best lap with other drivers, other set-ups, and so on!
The Only HD Camera Built for the Punishment of Motorsports
An on-board or in-car camera designed for motorsport must guarantee great resilience and reliability in the extreme working conditions typical of racing, and against the most adverse weather.
That's why the AiM SmartyCam3 Corsa is IP65 waterproof. Constructed from machinery-molded aluminum, PA fiberglass reinforced and featuring a sapphire frontal lens glass, the SmartyCam3 Corsa is built like a tank.
The Convenience and Ease of Auto Stop and Start
You have other things to think about while you're at the race track, and the AiM SmartyCam3 Corsa is designed with that in mind. That's why it switches on and off automatically, as well as starting and stopping recording in the same way.
No Video Wave Effect with the Motorsports CMOS Global Shutter
At speed on the race track, chassis vibration, engine rumble, and wind buffeting cause vibrations that are a big problem for generic sports video cameras. The AiM SmartyCam3 Corsa is designed and built specifically to handle that environment, so you'll never experience that seasick “wave effect” you get in videos recorded by generic cameras.
Ultra High-Quality Vide with Small File Sizes
Generic HD cameras are absorbed with having the highest pixel count. The result is that their video files are huge, eating up memory and processing power. AiM SmartyCam3 Corsa videos, on the other hand, have the same high video quality as other HD cameras, but their files are smaller because the H.264 compression system parameters have been optimized to perfectly balance video quality and file size.

The Bell MAG Sport features a lightweight composite shell designed to provide reliable protective performance while maintaining driver comfort.
Its shell construction balances strength, durability, and weight, making it a practical option for both new and experienced drivers.
The composite shell works together with an advanced multi-density impact liner to manage impact energy during a motorsport incident.
This construction delivers Bell Racing protection without the premium price associated with specialized carbon fiber racing helmets.
Advanced Multi-Density, Multi-Piece Impact Liner
Inside the MAG Sport is an advanced multi-density, multi-piece energy-absorbing liner engineered to maximize impact performance.
The liner works with the outer shell to help absorb and manage forces during an impact.
Different liner densities allow the protective structure to respond to a range of impact conditions as required by the helmet's certification testing.
Proper fit is essential for the protective system to perform as intended. The helmet should sit securely around the head without excessive movement or uncomfortable pressure points.
Classic Open-Face Design With Excellent Visibility
One of the defining characteristics of the Bell MAG Sport is its traditional open-face configuration.
Without a full-face chin bar, the helmet offers a broad field of vision and convenient access to the driver's face.
This design is particularly appealing to drivers competing in vehicles and events where open-face helmets are permitted.
Drivers can easily monitor mirrors, surrounding vehicles, cockpit instruments, and corner workers while maintaining the familiar feel of a classic Bell racing helmet.
Safety Consideration: Open-face helmets provide less chin and facial coverage than full-face helmets. Confirm that an open-face helmet is appropriate for your vehicle and racing application.
Racing Visor Peak With Anti-Glare Strip
The Bell MAG Sport comes equipped with a traditional racing visor peak featuring an anti-glare strip.
The visor peak is designed to help shield the driver's eyes from direct overhead sunlight during track sessions and motorsport competition.
The anti-glare strip provides additional visual comfort when driving in bright conditions.
This combination preserves the classic Bell open-face appearance while providing a functional benefit during daytime racing.
Replacement peak components should be selected specifically for the MAG Sport helmet and installed according to Bell Racing's instructions.
Factory-Installed M6 HANS and FHR Mounting Provisions
The Bell MAG Sport features factory-installed M6 threaded mounting terminals designed for approved frontal head restraint anchors.
These mounting points allow compatible HANS/FHR hardware to be installed without modifying the helmet's protective shell.
Head-and-neck restraint compatibility is particularly important for drivers participating in motorsport events requiring an approved frontal head restraint system.
Important: The MAG Sport includes M6 mounting terminals, but HANS/FHR anchor clips are sold separately.
Always confirm anchor compatibility and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Comfortable Fire-Resistant Racing Interior
The Bell MAG Sport features a Dark Grey high-strength, high-comfort fire-resistant interior designed for motorsport use.
The interior helps provide a secure fit and comfortable contact during driving sessions.
Bell also offers selected alternative interior color configurations, including Tan, White, Red, Purple, Blue, Green, Neon Yellow, Pink, and Orange.
Alternative interior colors may require special ordering and are subject to manufacturer availability.
Extended Sizing for a Wide Range of Drivers
The Bell MAG Sport offers an extended manufacturer size range, making it a particularly useful option for drivers who struggle to find larger racing helmets.
Available manufacturer size ranges include 57-58, 58-59, 60-61, 61-61+, 63-64, 65-66, and 67-68.
To determine your correct helmet size, measure the circumference of your head around the widest point, approximately one inch above your eyebrows.
Take the measurement several times and use Bell Racing's official fit recommendations when choosing a size.
The special 61-61+ designation represents a manufacturer fit variation rather than a clearly defined upper head circumference. Consult Bell Racing for guidance if you fall between sizes.
Designed for Track Days, HPDE, and Club Racing
The Bell MAG Sport is a practical choice for drivers who prefer the visibility and traditional feel of an open-face racing helmet.
Its combination of composite construction, current Snell certification, and classic styling makes it suitable for a variety of motorsport activities when permitted by the event organizer.
High-Performance Driving Events

Autocross
Time Trials
Club Racing

Alpinestars Tech-1 K Youth v2 Karting Shoes
from $129.95
$169.95
Alpinestars Tech-1 K Youth v2 Karting Shoes
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Youth v2 Karting Shoes give young racers the comfort, support, and precise pedal feedback needed for competitive karting. Developed specifically for junior drivers, the Tech-1 K Youth v2 combines a durable nubuck microfiber upper with an anatomical fit, reinforced protection, and an ultra-thin Formula 1-inspired outsole.
A revised forefoot profile reduces unnecessary bulk around the pedals, while the asymmetric lacing system creates a secure and supportive fit. Strategic perforations improve airflow, and reinforced toe and heel areas help the shoes withstand the repeated wear associated with practice, qualifying, and racing.
Youth Karting Shoes Built for Control
The Tech-1 K Youth v2 is designed to help developing drivers maintain a stable connection with the kart. Its lightweight construction supports natural ankle movement, while the low-profile outsole provides the sensitivity needed for smooth brake and throttle inputs.
The close-fitting design also helps reduce unwanted foot movement inside the shoe, giving young racers greater confidence during fast pedal transitions and demanding race sessions.
Durable Nubuck Microfiber Construction
The upper uses a durable combination of nubuck and microfiber materials for support, flexibility, and abrasion resistance. Strategically positioned perforated zones improve ventilation without compromising the shoe’s supportive structure.
This lightweight construction helps keep the foot comfortable during long indoor sessions and warm outdoor race weekends.
Enhanced Anatomical Fit
An updated anatomical profile follows the natural shape of the foot more closely. The flatter forefoot reduces excess material around the toes and improves the driver’s connection with closely positioned kart pedals.
This streamlined fit supports more accurate brake pressure and throttle modulation while maintaining room for natural foot movement.
Dual Asymmetric Closure System
The asymmetric closure combines aramidic speed lacing with an adjustable hook-and-loop ankle strap. Positioning the closure away from the center of the foot helps distribute pressure more evenly and creates a secure, personalized fit.
Durable para-aramidic eyelets support the lacing system during repeated adjustment and regular racing use.
Ergonomic Heel Counter
An ergonomic polypropylene foot counter supports and stabilizes the heel during braking and rapid pedal transitions. This structure helps reduce unwanted rear-foot movement while allowing the ankle to operate naturally.
Reinforced Toe Protection
External reinforcements on both sides of the toe improve abrasion resistance in areas commonly exposed to pedals, chassis components, and repeated contact inside the kart.
External Heel Reinforcement
A protective rubber section at the rear of the heel adds durability and abrasion resistance while entering the kart, operating the pedals, and moving through the paddock.
Ultra-Thin Formula 1 Specification Sole
The Tech-1 K Youth v2 uses an ultra-thin outsole inspired by Alpinestars Formula 1 footwear technology. Its exclusive rubber compound is strategically ribbed to provide dependable grip and clear pedal feedback.
The low-profile construction helps young drivers feel changes in brake pressure and throttle position in both wet and dry karting conditions.
Comfortable Low-Cut Collar
The soft microfiber collar is cut lower at the rear to reduce pressure around the Achilles area. This improves ankle mobility and comfort during repeated braking and acceleration.
Lightweight nitrile rubber padding provides additional cushioning without adding unnecessary bulk.
Perforated Padded Tongue
The tongue includes soft padding to cushion the top of the foot and perforations that improve airflow. Its flexible construction works with the asymmetric closure to create a comfortable and secure fit.
