Sparco K-Rapid Kart Racing Shoe
$259.00
Sparco K-Rapid Kart Racing Shoes
The Sparco K-Rapid Kart Racing Shoes combine fast, precise adjustment with lightweight construction and responsive pedal control. Developed for competitive kart racing, the K-Rapid features Sparco’s rotor quick-closure system, allowing drivers to fine-tune the fit without traditional laces.
A smooth microfiber upper provides a supportive and flexible feel, while the breathable lining helps manage heat during demanding indoor and outdoor karting sessions. The elasticated rear ankle bellow allows natural movement when braking and accelerating without sacrificing heel support.
The ultra-light natural rubber outsole uses differentiated grip textures to balance pedal sensitivity with dependable traction. Its oil-resistant and wet-surface grip characteristics help maintain control both inside the kart and while moving through the paddock.
Rotor Quick-Closure System
The K-Rapid uses a dial-operated rotor closure that evenly tensions the cable across the foot. This system allows quick and precise adjustments, helping the shoe maintain a secure fit throughout practice, qualifying, and racing.
The low-profile cable design also eliminates loose conventional laces that can require readjustment or become caught around kart components.
Smooth Microfiber Upper
The upper is constructed from lightweight microfiber leather for a comfortable balance of flexibility, support, and durability. Its smooth profile reduces unnecessary bulk while allowing the shoe to conform closely to the foot.
Breathable Interior Lining
A breathable inner lining promotes airflow around the foot and helps reduce heat buildup. This improves comfort during long races, warm-weather events, and physically demanding indoor karting sessions.
Elasticated Rear Ankle Bellow
The flexible rear bellow allows the ankle and Achilles area to move naturally during pedal operation. This unrestricted movement helps reduce pressure while maintaining support around the heel.
Shock-Absorbing Footbed
An internal shock-absorbing footbed helps isolate vibration transferred through the kart chassis and pedals. Reducing vibration can improve comfort and limit foot fatigue during long sessions.
Ultra-Light Natural Rubber Sole
The lightweight rubber outsole is designed specifically for kart racing. Differentiated grip textures provide an effective balance of traction, flexibility, and direct pedal feedback.
Grip on Wet and Oily Surfaces
The natural rubber compound provides dependable traction on kart pedals and trackside surfaces, including areas that may be damp or exposed to oil and automotive fluids.
Abrasion-Resistant Protection
High-abrasion-resistant reinforcement is positioned around the toe and heel, helping protect the shoe from repeated contact with pedals, chassis components, and paddock surfaces.
FIA 8877-2022 Karting Approval
The Sparco K-Rapid is homologated to the FIA 8877-2022 karting equipment standard. This makes it suitable for competitions requiring footwear certified to the latest FIA karting requirements.

High Performance Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors for Mercedes AMG
This Girodisc floating iron rotor system is a direct replacement for your AMG front OEM rotors. No modifications to your car are necessary. The 360mm diameter rotors will bolt directly to your Mercedes AMG and work with the original calipers perfectly.
The Girodisc front rotors are approximately 23.6 lbs vs. 34.5 lbs for the stock units. This reduction in rotational and unsprung weight allows for quicker acceleration and suspension response. When upgrading your original brakes with lightweight high performance iron replacements, your factory bias is maintained as well as your ABS efficiency.
The central hat section of the Girodisc rotor is made from strictly U.S. sourced 6061-T6 aircraft specification aluminum. The disc is drilled and slotted for incredible cooling, made from Girodisc's proprietary American-made cast iron and machined from start to finish in house at Girodisc. The disc utilizes a curved vane design, developed in racing to act as a centrifugal pump forcing cooling air through the disc.
The disc and hat are joined by a floating mount system using 12 high-strength alloy steel drive pins manufactured by Girodisc in the USA and cadmium plated for long-lasting corrosion resistance. The drive pins bear the braking load while maintaining the axial and radial float between the hat and disc. The pins are secured by class 12.9 cap screws with hardened washers. In order to keep the rotors from making noise when cold, the pins are mounted with anti-noise spring washers on the rotor side, allowing the rotor to grow with heat expansion while eliminating the rattle typically associated with floating rotors. A floating rotor will also self-center between the pads.
Once your Girodisc system is in place, you can simply replace the cast iron discs as needed.

Alpinestars Tech-M Pit Crew Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-M Pit Crew Gloves are purpose-built for professional motorsport mechanics who need fire-resistant protection, impact absorption, dependable grip, and fast on-and-off performance in the pit lane.
Designed and developed through competition in the World Endurance Championship, the Tech-M combines a lightweight bonded aramid-fiber construction with strategically positioned protective foam, abrasion-resistant reinforcement, and textured leather palm inserts.
The pre-curved design helps reduce material bunching while operating wheel guns, handling wheels, and completing other demanding pit-stop tasks. An open cuff with a 180-degree elasticated wrist provides a secure fit while allowing mechanics to quickly put on or remove the gloves.
Developed for Professional Pit-Crew Use
The Tech-M was designed specifically around the needs of motorsport pit crews. Its construction supports the rapid hand movements, tool control, grip, and protection required during high-pressure pit stops.
The reduced-material design helps preserve dexterity and tactile feedback while maintaining protection in areas exposed to impact, abrasion, vibration, and heat.
Flame-Resistant Aramid Construction
The main glove body is made from bonded flame-resistant aramid fiber. This lightweight construction provides a balance of protection, comfort, flexibility, and durability for professional motorsport environments.
The flame-resistant materials help provide the coverage required for pit-lane personnel working around fuel, hot components, brakes, wheels, and other competition hazards.

Silicon FR-coated protective patches incorporate foam reinforcement across the knuckles and fingers. These strategically positioned areas help absorb impact during wheel changes, equipment handling, and other pit activities.
The protective construction is designed to provide additional coverage without creating unnecessary bulk or significantly restricting hand movement.
Reinforced Thumb and Index-Finger Area
A Silicon FR-reinforced aramid patch is positioned between the thumb and index finger. This high-contact area experiences substantial wear when gripping wheel guns, handles, tools, and other pit equipment.
The reinforcement improves abrasion resistance while helping the glove maintain its shape and performance through repeated use.
Textured Goat Nappa Leather Palm Inserts
Strategically positioned 1 mm Textured Goat Nappa leather inserts provide grip, abrasion resistance, and shock absorption across key palm contact areas.
The leather reinforcement helps mechanics maintain control of wheel guns, wheels, tools, and equipment while reducing vibration and impact transmitted through the hands.
Pre-Curved Fingers and Palm
The fingers and palm are pre-curved to follow the natural gripping position of the hand. This construction reduces excess material and bunching when holding a wheel gun or other pit equipment.
The ergonomic shape helps improve dexterity, comfort, and control during fast, repetitive pit-stop procedures.
Open Cuff with 180-Degree Elasticated Wrist
The wide cuff opening allows mechanics to quickly put on the gloves when preparing for a pit stop. A 180-degree elasticated wrist helps hold the glove securely in place without requiring a bulky closure system.
An integrated silicone pull tab assists with removal, helping pit crew members transition quickly between tasks.
Durable Embroidered Graphics
Fully embroidered Alpinestars graphics provide a professional appearance and improved durability compared with basic surface printing. The branding is designed to withstand repeated professional use and frequent handling.
