Historic Sport Sedans

[John McKechnie]

Just a reminder to all HSSIA and other drivers competing at a National event of new clothing safety rule, all competitors will have been notified by MSNZ email of this last year.-

HMC/HSC newsletter-
*As of the 1st April 2018 the clothing standards for racing have been updated.
Please check this now and make sure that all your clothing is compliant with the new regulations. All our races come under National Race...not club.
Of special note is the regulation on race suits and undergarments which are now compulsory. Socks must be mid-calf, and undergarments full sleeve and long legs. No tee shirts or shorts.
Our last race meeting of the season is on the 7th April and the new regulations will be in force so please make sure that you have this sorted as you can believe it will be checked by the scrutineers*

So scants ,briefs,thongs, budgie smugglers will now NOT be acceptable as underwear, or the only thing you can wear under a one piece race suit.

Under a one piece race suit must be long-johns, and upper torso must be waist to neck, wrist to wrist--.
Effectively 2 layers now.
No synthetics allowed, check for materials detail in MSNZ rule book-

So do not roll up to Taupo without these as the scrutineers will be wanting to see them.

I am so glad it is not the group coodinators Responsibility and Liability to do a personal check on each driver to make sure they comply..........

Hi John and others,

Please be aware that MSNZ issued Manual Amendment 35105 on 25 Jan 2018 stating that "Garments (underwear) manufactured to this standard in a ‘short sleeved and/or ‘short pant’’ version can be accepted" - this is applicable for all levels of competition in New Zealand EXCEPT FOR Premier Championship Races and Championship Rallies.

The manual amendment can be viewed here:

Chicane Racewear sell both long and short versions here:

In case this suggests that I'm directing competitors towards Chicane, Harris Race Radios sell compliant underwear too (it complies with the top level requirements but costs a bit more than the Chicane products):

Remember that you still need to buy the clothing that complies - this amendment does not make your brand new 100% cotton tee shirt and boxers acceptable.

Cheers,
Alan Hyndman.
