This includes items such as helmets, racing suits, gloves, shoes, and protective padding for drivers or athletes, as well as technical components like tires, engines, and telemetry systems for vehicles. The purpose of racing equipment is to enhance performance, ensure safety, and comply with the regulations of the specific racing discipline.
