guys just before two weeks I was at the track in MMSC and they have made it compulsory to wear the leather's suit.....it doesn't matter whether it is a single piece or two piece....but by two piece I dont mean the pants which is use for touring....Comment

As far as I know... Relevant padding at the necessary areas is good enough... If you have a two piece suit, there should be zipper to attach the jacket and the pant together!!!
That is a two piece jacket and a pant with padding on the shoulders, elbows and possibly a hump at the back for the jacket.... and knee sliders and a shin protector in the pants is just fine.... There are good branded two piece suits in the market even today...
However, I will talk to the people concerned and get back to you with proper information !!!
@ People mocking the rules : The so called rule book is made for safety purposes.... People who attended the Cali SBK racing school will definitely know the importance...
The race track to us bikers is like Mecca to Muslims... I request everyone to pay respect to the culture that is being implemented there and support safe riding and not make a mockery of it....

Varun, I completely support your words. Leathers are a must for tracks!
Hence, I am keeping myself out for the same reason.Comment

MMSC themselves were offering Astars Octane suits at 20k or something a couple of months back. It was on their website. Otherwise, there are cheaper suits like Taichi."Tough times never last, but tough people do." - Robert Schuller

Erm.. ok? I paid $800 for my Octane, and this was a non-offer price (almost full sticker price). On sale in the US, it was something like $700.
I saw the price listed in the MMSC website a few months ago, can't find it now.
As for Taichi vs. Astars, you need to compare apples to apples mate. The comparable suit from Taichi to the Octane is the GPX S206 which is about $750 (sticker price)."Tough times never last, but tough people do." - Robert Schuller
