One or Two Day Driving Schools Shoes and Gloves

[EAGLEFAN48]

Hi I am doing the one Day Racing School at RA next week.
(see my Newbie post if the paint you were watching has already dried!)
I was wondering what the recommendation was on shoes and gloves? Is anything furnished? As this is most likely a once in a lifetime experience I am looking to invest as little as possible.

Narrow thin soled shoes are the best. When I did my 3-day was told to go buy some cheap wrestling shoes. I did and they worked fine for my 3 day. Then I bought real nomex driving shoes. Some don't wear gloves but any good driving glove will work. I think I may have worn golf gloves but it's been so long I don't remember. The point of both good driving gloves and shoes is fire protection and good feel. You are compromising the safety if you use the alternatives mentioned but if it's a one off experience and money is an issue... Those are some alternatives.
