We’ve sold tens of thousands of helmets here at Competition Motorsport and, in the process of doing that, answered a million questions (probably) about them. With that in mind, this article will give you the real lowdown on selecting a proper auto racing helmet. We’ll go over the why’s and how’s of size, shape, certification, pricing, features, and maintenance so you have the tools you need to select the perfect helmet.
If you mount it on or install it in your vehicle for track days or wheel-to-wheel racing, the Competition Motorsport Racecar Gear collection is where you'll find it!
Shoes seem of very good quality. My first set of actual HPDE shoes for Track Days. Fit is comfortable; I won't know for sure until the first track day

OK Driving Shoe
Lightweight and colorful. Not particularly comfortrable for standing around all day at an HPDE event, but OK for driving. They do seem to be breaking in, so maybe they will get better with time.

Reliable and simple
No frills, just performance. Great grip, solid construction, and they’re holding up well after a full season of use.

Solid entry-level race boot
Basic but effective. Fit is true, and pedal feel is good. A great option for budget-minded drivers who still want FIA certification.

Takes a few sessions to break in
Felt stiff at first and rubbed my heel a bit. After two weekends, they settled in nicely and now feel great.
