Planning ahead for the 2010 Racing season
Replacing your Harness
Racing harnesses are now supplied with a date of manufacture tag to comply with regulations. The harness can be used for a period of 5 years following the year of manufacture.
If you need to replace a harness it is obviously best to wait until January 2010 to maximise it’s period of use. We’re expecting our first batch of harness to arrive during the first week of January all with 2010 labels. If you require a particular type of harness we can pre-order one for you. Contact us now to avoid delay.
Fire Extinguishers and Servicing
Fire extinguishers should be serviced every two years. The extinguisher label will show the date of the last service. We can service both SPA and Lifeline systems in our onsite Merlin workshop at the Castle Combe Race Circuit.
Check the date and if a service is needed our advice is to get this done well in advance of race day. We always see racers in a panic on our door step at 7.30am on the first race day – it’s not good for your racing nerves!
We stock F1 Kit as worn by Jenson
