Fck the suits. This dude is 41? We need his secrets 😂😂

[@jonathanbert6502]

42 in a couple of months actually 😊 thank you for the compliment. This comment deserves a free customized suit 👍

[@GPEightyNine]

@jonathanbert6502 You are welcome Jonathan! Would love it! 🙏💪

[@HoltAircraft]

Hats off to you for thinking out of the box! I love your passion, but NO! I am not even warming up my engine with flame protections and all my body armour

[@emenseambush]

Man's 41 and fast as fuck I don't need the suit I need his racing secrets lmao

[@emenseambush]

I'll take the suit tho lmao

[@jusarusakko294]

How much size L suit weights? We need to have Level 2 or structurally similar suit in our gategory. Your product meet this requirement?

[@kennkart]

Good luck on getting homologated by FIA CIK tho. Its a long shot. You cant wear rib protector inside the kartskin.

[@sixtenallingersandgren6674]

Exactly, and the rib protector is required

Bravo omar for this super interesting interview . A long past of being interested and thinking about how gain marginaly in gokart rental . I used to have a old karting suit for winter and one thiner for summer but i never found by myself an answer for the aero . Good luck for him 👍

[@jonathanbert6502]

For indoorkarting the gains are 0,1s on a 1 minute lap. For outdoor rental karting and surely for 2 stroke karts the gains should be higher because the higher the speed , the more efficient the suit will be. We will test it in a couple of months.

@@jonathanbert6502 I watched all the interview 😉 Nice idea man 💡

[@projectgz]

This was a trend during 2010 mtb pro downhill era , and end being banned for the sus look of the riders 💅 , is easy to understand than less air resistance is always faster

Subtitles would be great 👍

Will be available shortly 😄 EDIT: they are available now, just click CC

[@antoniosamaranchi3223]

Is it flame and temperature proof?

[@jonathanbert6502]

for karting competition homologation, the suit being fireproof is NOT required, fireproof is only for car racing. Actually it’s not allowed to kart with your homologated car racing suit and vice versa. It’s 2 totally different homologations. For karting it’s abrasion resistance that is most important. The Kartskins suits have the highest abrasion protection. If you get thrown out of your kart at 120km/h and slide for 100m on the tarmac there won’t be a hole in the suit. That’s how safe it is 👍

[@antoniosamaranchi3223]

@@jonathanbert6502 ok, but there is high temperature proof in 3 layers suit. And it’s important. Once I was rolling with my kart and for several seconds I was in contact with an engine. It was very hurt.

[@jonathanbert6502]

@@antoniosamaranchi3223 for FIA homologation there are 6 tests in total , 1 of them is heat resistance test. The suit has to withstand 100 degrees for 10 secs to pass the test. We already did tests at 140 degrees and nothing happened to the suit 🤗

@@jonathanbert6502 I’m not about suit ))) What about driver? The suit mustn’t pass heat for 10 seconds. and what temperature on driver’s skin for this time? (For your suit’s test)

[@HoltAircraft]

sorry that's a no from me, I wear as much fire proofing as I can when I'm on track. Every suit I have has burn holes and marks, and I also wear armour plates for my spine, ribs and knees under my suit. This might be ok for rental karting but no way am I touching a Rotax wearing that!

[@sixtenallingersandgren6674]

Why do you wear fire proofing for karting? None of the fia homologated kart suits are fire proof and generally there is a very low risk of any fire

[@sixtenallingersandgren6674]

I do agree that wearing a rib protector under this is impossible which is an issue as its required in most competitions

[@HoltAircraft]

@@sixtenallingersandgren6674 because I have seen karts on fire. Also it's the heat protection a nice thick suit gives you, if you end up under a kart the exhaust can land on you... I have seen many suits burnt
