Default Do you wear driving gloves?

C’mon, admit it! You don’t NEED driving gloves, but you wear them anyway, right? I’ve got to say, though, they do seem to help me better grip the steering wheel.

When I was younger I had a manager who wore leather driving gloves and owned a Saturn. Seeing this guy motor around in a Saturn, in a suit with leather driving gloves was enough for me to swear them off.

If I was tracking a Z06 maybe. Just street driving. No.

If anybody actually answers yes to this without the caveat of using them on an actual race track, I recommend the permaban.

Absolutely............... NOT!
On long motorcyle trips I found them helpful; made for some interesting tan lines on my hands.

No. Tired some ‘once’ for racing and they were not only hot but my hands kept slipping off the wheel. I suppose with some real racing gloves wouldn’t slip off the wheel but not going to spend my money on them.
