Puma Gear

Chad from Puma was at the shop today fitting the crew for some brand-new racing duds for ‘07. Puma provides racewear for top-teams in F1, Champcar, IRL, and just about any series you can think of, so we figured it was only suiting that our drivers and crew should get nothing but the best. The racesuits will be custom-cut, sewn, and stitched in Puma’s facility in Torino, Italy, and custom-dyed to match Team Red Bull’s distinctive blue coloring. Their racesuits weigh in at just around 4 lbs before any embroidery is added, and in a world where races can be won or lost in the pits, these performance advantages can make all the difference. Chad's primary concerns are safety and performance, but he also wants AJ up to par with the stock car style. He convinced him to surrender his open-wheel, tapered leg firesuit for the boot cut firesuit deemed cooler by most NASCAR drivers.
