If you're in the pit crew game, you know how crucial it is to have the right gear. The Alpinestars Radar Racing Shoe is built for those long days in the garage and the fast-paced action of pit stops. It's fully FIA homologated, meaning it meets the strict safety standards needed for professional racing. You’re not just getting a shoe; you’re getting a piece of equipment that’s been designed with the needs of pit crews in mind.

Let’s talk about the details. The main upper is crafted from leather, reinforced with bycast carbon leather at the heel and toe. This means you’re getting durability where it counts, plus some serious protection. The dual closure system is pretty slick too; it combines a hook and loop strap with traditional laces, so you can dial in that perfect fit and keep them secure while you’re on the move.

Now, if you’re sweating it out during a race, you’ll appreciate the strategically placed perforation zones that boost airflow and keep your feet cool. Comfort is key, especially when you’re on your feet all day. The collar padding is made from lightweight Nitrile rubber, and the tongue has soft padding with perforations for extra comfort. You won’t be thinking about sore feet when you’re racing against the clock.

One of the standout features is the lower-cut collar at the back, designed to give your Achilles' heel some love and improve your movement. You can kneel, sprint, and maneuver with ease, thanks to the added ankle support. And let’s not forget the fireproof Nomex fabric that not only keeps you safe but also ensures your feet stay comfortable under pressure.

The ergonomic heel counter adds to the mix, providing support and stability, which is crucial when you’re working fast. Plus, the exclusive rubber compound sole from Alpinestars, combined with soft EVA, gives you that grip and stability you need when you’re racing against time.

In short, if you’re serious about your pit crew game and want a shoe that can keep up with the demands of the job, the Alpinestars Radar Racing Shoe might just be what you need. It’s built tough, comfortable, and ready for the action—just like you.

Who is Behind PCI Race Radios?

PCI Race Radios was started in 1972 when Bob Steinberger put communications in the vehicles of Bill Stroppe, Joe MacPherson and Walker Evans. At the 1974 Mint 400, Steinberger sent up three weather balloons with 500 feet of coax attached to them. It was that day when the first successful radio relay from a pit was made. Since then, Bob’s iconic status has spanned through nearly half a century of work with his communications brand, PCI Race Radios.

Bob Steinberger passed away in 2017, handing over the company to his son Scott, who has been racing since 1983. Scott Steinberger understands what goes into racing and the importance of quality (communication) products that help get you to the finish line.
