Excitement permeates the world of motorsports—there's nothing like the thrill of karting, or of driving your first IndyCar. Finding the line and cornering at maximum speed to overtake opponents and set new personal records are their own rewards.
But with the element of danger is the need for protection. Just as we wouldn't hop in a kart without our driving suit and a full-face helmet, comprehensive coverage is a must. Accidents will happen—that's a given—so it's crucial that we're fully suited up. Then, when these things do happen, we can jump back in the driver's seat ASAP, without so much as a glance in the rearview.
Zinc's options for coverage hit all the important points, and are as flexible as an Italian-made chassis. Read on for specifics.
