Penske Porsche RS Spyder Racing Suit at Charity Auction
This caught my eye on eBay - a
 Might make it more "interesting." Since the Penske Porsche RS Spyder is now a thing of the past, I guess it's not an exaggeration to say it's a piece of history. The auction benefits Racing4Research which raises funds for the Children's Tumor Foundation.

Interesting.
But I bet that that's a pit crew suit as I think the driver's suits normally have the driver's name embroidered on the belt, don't they?

It is a driver's suit, it was just never worn, explaining the lack of a name anywhere on it.
It's a Stand 21 suit, which is officially Porsche's equipment supplier. It's worth, without the embroidery and signatures, probably about $1000. I'm bidding on it if it doesn't go up much. I like how it's autographed, but that would make me feel bad as I would probably wear it on track...

I thought about bidding, too, but it would be a total novelty for me, unless I had some serious fire-safe alterations done to take about a foot off the legs. I can't quiiiiite imagine showing up to an event wearing it - doesn't match my shoe...err..I mean car at all.Edited to add... Guess I didn't read too carefully.

I need a racing suit, and it sounds like it would fit me perfectly - 6'4", 180 lbs. Don't really care about the autographs.

I'm thinking it is crew suit as well. #1 Penske outfits his team very well & #2 - 6'4" 200lbs is way bigger than any of those drivers on the team. It is still worth good money.
Here is my son with Sascha (my son is 6' 190)  And if anybody wants an Autographed Alex Job crew suit signed by the same guys plus Jorg Bergmeister at less than this suit is at now, let me know. Money will go to the carr stimulis plan  T.C.
