The wheel itself isn’t the problem. What usually makes an aftermarket steering wheel a legal issue on a road car is the airbag it doesn’t have, and whether you told your insurer.

The wheel itself isn’t the problem. What usually makes an aftermarket steering wheel a legal issue on a road car is the airbag it doesn’t have, and whether you told your insurer.

MOMO have announced the Prototipo Desert for 2026, a 350mm Prototipo in Sahara vintage leather with dark brown anodised spokes and parallel sand stitching. Full specification, our price, MOMO’s own photography and how it compares with the rest of the Prototipo range.

The Stilo Venti4 Trophy Jet and Trophy Plus Rally both carry FIA 8859-2024 and Snell SA2025, the newest approvals available. With Snell SA2015 helmets expiring at the end of 2026, Cameron looks at both, plus the new DG-20 Raid amplifier and the adaptor lead you cannot run it without.

On a Seat the airbag decides the hub. The Arosa, Ibiza and Toledo each have separate airbag and non-airbag listings. Here is the full range.

Shallow runs 30mm to 43mm, and it is the one word on this subject no manufacturer uses. Every shallow wheel we stock from MOMO and Sparco, with dish figures, diameters and prices, and why it is the wrong band for a quick release.

23 BC Racing coilover kits for Peugeot. First-gen 208 strut diameter split (46.6mm, 47mm, 51mm), 207 Euro vs China, and V1-only older models all explained.

Short circuit and Race Venue kart events name different suit standards, and our homologated range answers one of them. The grades and levels explained, the junior suit trap, and where the practice suits stop.

Cameron’s walk round Gravity Show 2026 at the NEC, the ten year anniversary edition: a chrome Veyron, a matte P1, a Renault Formula One car, a hall of Skylines, a Gullwing on the floor, a 190E Evo II in DTM colours and thirty three photographs of what he saw.

MOMO has added a tobacco brown leather version of the Prototipo Heritage. Cameron looks at the whole Prototipo family and finds the dish depth barely moves across six wheels, which changes what you are actually deciding.

Flat means 0mm: the rim sits level with the mounting face on the boss. Every flat wheel we stock from OMP, MOMO, Sparco, Sabelt and Reverie, with dish figures, diameters and prices, plus why flat is the one to buy behind a quick release.

Motorsport UK accept one list of helmet standards for kart racing and a shorter one for drivers under 15, Cadet and Bambino. Which is which, the 1550g weight limit, and why the dearer helmet can be the wrong one.

The Alpinestars GP Tech V4 race suit paired with Tech 1-Z V3 boots and Tech 1-ZX V4 gloves. The only 3-layer FIA 8856-2018 suit in the Alpinestars range.
