Fire Resistant Underwear

Since 1975 the FIA has required that driver clothing be flame retardant
so as to offer protection in the event of a fire. That used to mean
heavy, five layer, NASA-spec race suits. Nowadays the key is Nomex®,
a fire-resistant, lightweight artificial fibre which undergoes thermal
testing in the laboratory. It is subjected to an open flame with a
temperature of 300 to 400 degrees Celsius that acts on the material from
a distance of three centimetres - only if it fails to ignite within 10
seconds can it be used in a driver’s overalls.
