I actually find it cooler, or at least better, to wear nomex undies. OK so I
drive an open car with a jewel level vent which is great once the car is moving
but even on the false grid (and even if delayed there for 5-10 minutes) I just
sit there and let the sweat be absorbed by the Nomex. The last thing I want to
do is to get even hotter by jumping out and then climbing back in and knitting
myself into the belts again - getting hotter and sweatier all the time.
I have tried not wearing underwear and the suit just gets yucky instead - much
less comfortable.
The guys I feel bad for are my crew - out in the hot sun. I'm heat and sun
protected by undies/suit, helmet, gloves and fiberglass.
