About Motorsport Racing Gloves


When it comes to motorsport racing, safety is of the utmost importance. From helmets to suits and beyond, every piece of gear plays a crucial role in protecting drivers and helping them perform at their best. One often-overlooked piece of equipment is the racing glove.

Motorsport gloves are specifically designed to protect the hands of racers and provide a comfortable, secure grip on the steering wheel. These gloves are made from a variety of materials including synthetic materials and fire-retardant fabrics. They typically feature padding in key areas to absorb impact and vibration, as well as reinforced stitching to add durability.

The most important function of motorsport gloves is to provide the driver with a proper grip of the steering wheel, this is a crucial feature because it helps the driver to maintain control of the car, especially in high-speed and high-stress situations. Furthermore, it is important for the driver to have a good feel of the car and the feedback of the road/track. In order to achieve this, the gloves are designed with a tacky surface or specific patterns on the palm side of the gloves.

In addition to providing a secure grip, motorsport gloves also help to protect the hands from fire and extreme temperatures. Many gloves feature fire-retardant materials that help to prevent burns in the event of an accident, as well as insulation to keep the hands warm in cold conditions. Some also have ventilation in the fingers, back of the hand and knuckle area to keep the hands dry, this help to keep the hands dry and cool under hot conditions.

Another important feature of motorsport gloves is their flexibility, which is important for the driver to have a full range of motion of the hands. This allows the driver to easily make precise adjustments to the car while driving. Many gloves also feature pre-curved fingers to mimic the natural shape of the hand and reduce fatigue over long periods of time.

What should we consider when choosing race gloves?

Any driver, whether it's for a karting event or a rally event, will want gloves that allow for maximum grip on the steering wheel. You will also want those gloves to be fully breathable, as it's likely that, especially during a competition, you will perspire more and this could cause your hands to slip. This is why quality racing gloves are needed, to maximise grip, as sometimes you may need to respond to obstacles in the road ahead quickly.


The gloves should also be comfortable, yet not restrict the movement of your fingers or wrist.


You will want high-performance race gloves that fit comfortably and allow you to be more in control when gripping the steering wheel.

Are your race gloves FIA 8856-2018 approved?

If I have sweaty hands during a race what can I do?

This is common with a lot of race drivers, especially during a competition, such as a rally, your heart is likely to be beating excessively, and all that adrenaline pumping around the body is bound to produce excess perspiration.


Therefore, choose race gloves that keep your hands dry through using innovative breathable materials. Also carefully consider whether that steering wheel is the right wheel for you, and to use in the combination with the racing gloves you have choose.
