FastLap Supply Take: The Competition is the suit we recommend most often for club racers stepping up from entry-level gear. The elastic arm cuff that tucks into the glove gauntlet is a genuinely useful detail — no bunching, no gap, cleaner feel in the cockpit. The breathable inserts make a real difference on hot days. FIA 8856-2018 certified, well-made, and priced fairly for what you get. If you're doing road racing, time attack, or endurance at club level, the Competition is the benchmark to compare everything else against.
FAQ
Competition vs Sprint — which should I choose?
The Competition has more premium features — elastic arm cuff, better breathable inserts, and more stretch paneling. The Sprint is lighter and more affordable. If budget allows, the Competition is the better long-term investment.
How do I care for my suit?
Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and high heat. Air dry completely before storage. Never dry clean.
