Three new bags landed this year: a £9 recycled suit bag, a helmet box that folds to 5 cm, and a Stilo gear bag with ventilation panels. Cameron on why the ventilation is the feature worth paying for, and how kit actually gets ruined.

OMP has added three hand held extinguishers this year, running from £80 to £298. They are all FIA and Motorsport UK approved, and they contain three completely different things. Cameron on which agent belongs in a cockpit and which belongs in the workshop.

OMP now lists ten plumbed-in fire extinguisher systems and the names look like a random string of letters. They are not. Cameron decodes FAL, SAL, SST and the 6 and 7 suffix, and works out what an alloy bottle actually buys you.

The other half of the official Sparco Martini Racing catalogue: four helmets from track day to full competition, the FIA race suit, gloves and boots, the replica eighties mechanics suit and the kit bags, with prices and what we would actually pick.
