Behind the Wheel

Race vehicles use specially designed seats to help keep drivers safe and secure while racing. The seat helps support the driver's body through every turn and bump, allowing them to stay focused on the track. 

Race vehicles use special safety harnesses instead of regular seat belts. These harnesses help keep drivers securely in their seats while racing through turns and over bumps, helping them stay safe and focused on the track.

A roll cage is a strong steel frame built inside every race vehicle. It surrounds the driver's area and helps provide protection while racing.

A window net is an important safety feature found on race vehicles. It helps keep the driver's arms safely inside the vehicle while racing and is securely fastened before every race begins. 

Before every race, drivers put on their racing helmets to help protect their heads. Along with the other safety equipment in the race vehicle, helmets help drivers stay safe while they enjoy racing. 

The steering wheel helps drivers control their race vehicle as they race around the track. Many racing steering wheels are specially designed so they can be removed quickly, making it easier for drivers to get in and out of the vehicle. 

Gauges give drivers important information about how their race vehicle is performing. They can show things like engine temperature, oil pressure, and other readings that help drivers keep an eye on their vehicle during the race. 

From behind the wheel, drivers focus on the track, watch the flag stand, and keep an eye on the race around them. Staying alert and looking ahead helps drivers race safely. 

Racing gloves help drivers keep a firm grip on the steering wheel while racing. They are also designed to be fire-resistant and are an important part of a driver's safety equipment.
