In AMSAG (Australian Motor Sport Action Group) events, it is often required to wear gloves during competition as a safety measure. Gloves provide improved grip on the steering wheel, help prevent blisters, and offer some protection in the event of an incident.
The specific requirements regarding glove use during AMSAG events are outlined in the AMSAG General Regulations, which all competitors must adhere to. The Regulations specify the minimum standards for personal protective equipment, including gloves, that must be worn during competition.
In general, the Regulations state that gloves must be made of a fire-retardant material and must cover the entire hand up to the wrist. The gloves must fit snugly to provide maximum dexterity and grip.
It is always best to check the specific requirements for each event, as the regulations may vary depending on the type of competition, vehicle class, or circuit. Competitors should also ensure that their gloves are in good condition, and fit properly before participating in any AMSAG event.
