I would hope that we are all wearing REAL driver thermal protection, too - rather than the bare minimum required by the rules.

Three layers retardent material - minimum, since a typical 3-layer suit plus undies starts to provide enough time to get out

Balaclava - even if you don't have a beard

Full-face helmet - perhaps the most important feature, with the visor installed and down

Good gloves - full Nomex protection, no places separating skin from heat with just leather
