Le Mans on Friday morning at 8:30, in a little less than half an hour three days of the official start of the race Great Prix \u200b\u200b. As every year gives Le Mans racing conditions difficult, high humidity and a constant threat of rain. In these situations it is even more important to pay close attention to the preparation of materials. The devices that can be taken are valuable for being able to get in motion in maximum security . The
helmet is definitely the most sensitive point of the setting of the pilot from rain: transparent visors are mounted wet condition "treated with special products that facilitate the sliding of the water. Compared to the characteristics of the pilot or moisture that develops inside the helmet are taken special vents on the visor that promote heat exchange with the outside without water or moisture to get inside.
In case of rain the real helmets are fitted with special masks that are internal blow hot air down to avoid fogging of the visor.
While the technical preparation of the helmets helmets wet and dry, between a turn and the other test the drivers' overalls are dried using Drying Breeze, a special equipment that allows you to remove moisture inside the suit in a few minutes. Even the gloves are dried using jets of hot air: the comfort of hands is crucial for enabling the driver to drive safely.
Some pilots when track conditions are "wet" use of special double knee sliders that allow you to have contact with the ground to the knee angles smaller: so riders can "feel" the trail without risking too much inclination.
In case of rain continues Dainese pilots are equipped with the plastic rain suits designed to facilitate the movement in motion. Little secret: the rain suits are tight-fitting to wear by our technicians is sprayed silicone spray on the suit ... I recommend .. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME ... the silicone should not go on the gloves or lower part of the suit ... otherwise the risk would be to slip off the bike.
Everything is ready for the start of the week end of the race, the weather is improving slowly ... fingers crossed that the weather is clement ... in the dry the show is definitely better.
