Racing fire test in real conditions


These tests have been made under professional supervision.
Do not attempt this on your own!

Romain Morizot, general manager of Stand 21, tests home products on his own and gives his feeling.

The equipment used in the test was not especially manufactured for the occasion. The garments used in this test were standard FIA / SNELL / SFI certified (depending on the products, see list below) that were picked directly from the Dijon store (any customer on the same day could have purchased these garments before their use for this demonstration).

Detail of the products:
- IVOS-Dragster helmet (with anti-vapor skirt), FIA 8860-2010 / SNELL SA 2010 certified.
- FIA 8856-2000 / SFI 3.3 certified “Top Fit” balaclava.
- Customized, on-sale item FIA 8856-2000 / SFI 3.2A-5 certified “ST221 HSC” racing suit.
- FIA 8856-2000 / SFI 3.3 certified “Top Fit” underwear shirt.
- FIA 8856-2000 / SFI 3.3 certified “Top Fit” underwear pants.
- FIA 8856-2000 / SFI 3.3 certified “Outside Seams II” gloves.
- FIA 8856-2000 / SFI 3.3 certified “Daytona II Off Road” boots.
- FIA 8856-2000 / SFI 3.3 certified “Heat Stress Control” socks.

This test showed and proved the validity and credibility of the current motor racing safety standards, the driver’s entire flashover lasting nearly 20 seconds.

Please understand that there were no special effects used to produce this video, that it is a live test performed by Sebastien Labie, a fire-risk expert, in similar conditions to that encountered during a fire-generating crash.
Warning: Do not attempt this on your own!
To begin with, this test proved the worthiness of our equipment inside a burning cockpit featuring a safety-certified seat and 6-point harness, as it showed the exacting situation of a driver faced with escaping his burning vehicle.
Then it shows an added test of the fire resistance of the racing suit that has already been used inside that simulated cockpit.
The helmet, racing shoes and gloves have hardly been damaged, and the underwear has perfectly performed its function of a heat barrier.
The racing suit used in this test has spent over 11 seconds inside the burning cockpit, and another 11 seconds under direct flame contact in the ‘human torch” sequence.
Finally, the racing suit and other garments have protected the person from any heat-induced injury or burns.
These testing results, much more stringent than required to be certified by the racing-safety authorities, are truly significant and show the true worthiness of the Stand 21 products under fire.
