racing suit

Fireproof track attire

A racing suit is a specialized one-piece garment worn by drivers in motorsports, designed for fire resistance and safety.

In auto racing, suits are made from materials like Nomex that protect against flames during crashes.

The term also applies to tight-fitting bodysuits worn by swimmers, cyclists, or speed skaters to reduce drag: She broke the record wearing a new racing suit.
