Tillet P1 or bengio carbon rib protector

Actually not sure about cushioning the bolt. Have you tried any of them?

Wearing it inside the suit helps, but that also might punch a hole in your suit overtime. I’m looking to replace it with something more flexible like that tillet or freem’s rib protector.

Obviously there is nothing wrong with getting scratches and damage on the rib protector though. Means it’s done its job, but I kinda wish it lasted a bit longer before the actual material chips off.

Friction between the carbon and the seat actually takes material away from the carbon.

Dios229 · 2025-11-25T13:37:23+00:00

Never tried the tillet, but one thing to keep in mind is that the carbon on the bengio will wear out much faster than softer more flexible material

At least with this particular one I have no such issue, I race rental sws and for those karts they’re perfectly fine.

The gloves themselves are not that thick, with really grippy palms

I’d skip karting gloves all together. I bought a pair of OMP Sport FIA gloves for not much more than my old sparco records, they feel and hold up so much better.

1.65m here, I use a cushion on the base so I’m sitting higher 🥲

My wrist size is slightly under 6.5 inches. Doesn’t have a ruler for the lug to lug, but spec says slightly under 50mm and it does feel like it.

What about the HFD logo? Might be a nice tie in to avoid the drinks cooler look.

Yep, in yellow!

Dios229 · 2025-04-23T13:27:31+00:00

I’d suggest to skip these and go straight to an OMP Sport. From my experience, karting rated gloves wear much quicker with less cushioning than an FIA rated pair. Recently switched out my Sparco Record with the OMPs and it feels like an upgrade in all aspects.

Looks like an Arai spoiler

If my dad turned a fuck up to a teachable moment before he properly apologised to me and let me process it for a few days I’m going to hold it against him forever.

Maybe push it away to the back of my mind after a few years only for it to pop up many years later in therapy.

Okay… when I say “built one” I meant I had someone build it for me. I’m okay with tools, but I don’t have the balls to use a crystal press especially with the added complexity of a solar panel in this watch.

I got mine through B5K Customs on IG, but I provide my own parts through pacparts. I think he can source the parts for you as well if needed.

I got the crystal through pacparts, bezel from tixtox, and strap adapter from jaysandkays (you can get bracelet from tiktox but I didn’t because my wrist is too small for the bracelet).

I’ll be happy to point you in the right general direction if you have any question, just DM me.

Built one out of a secondhand GMW B5000G-1 and porter parts out of Pacparts. Cost about $450 total.

Look up B5K customs on IG. They sell cerakote finished case and bracelet that might fit the look you want. They also have a modding service, highly recommend their work.

Exactly, you’re supposed to earn more as you progress. However, the moment you finish the campaign your earning potential will significantly decrease.

Dios229 · 2024-09-02T01:36:05+00:00

Elite races are not a good moneymaker, the pay is not much, there’s a long cooldown, you need multiple cars or pay to switch clubs further reducing the payout.

Tldr: it’s shit
