Been invited to a fancy dress party at the end of the month and, naturally, F1 came straight into my head. Does anyone know where I can get an adult sized race suit from? Im looking at no more than £40 as its probably only going to get used a handful of times. Im about 5 foot 8 and usually a small (sometimes a medium depending on the shop). Thanks :)

Yes, there are tonnes of race suits on eBay. You can't get any official ones or even officialish for that money (I think), but you could get a plain red suit for example and buy some of those sponsor thingies that you can iron onto your suit.

For £40 it would look pretty @#$%& to be honest. Better off going as something else. Or get yourself a kartsuit (which look like proper racesuits, but are not fireproof) and endeavour to go karting more regularly).

Other than that... google search for fancy dress wear, I know I have a shop in my town for that kind of stuff.

I'm sure you'll be able to get a Stig suit for £40 from somewhere... it'll be popular enough that somewhere will let them out for hire undoubtedly.

hahahah! Sadly not, i donated it to charity.

I do actually have an old plain tag mclaren nomex suit from the late 80's, and a pair of mclaren boots boxes away incresing in value. not to be worn though!

If I was at home and not at uni I could have lent you my blue sparco suit from when I was a kid (my mum bought sewed all the correct colours and patches to make it a 95' Bitburger Benetton overall :P) But it was an adult suit that I tucked legs in (I was a tall kiddo).
