Momo Racewear

The MOMO Corsa Evo race suit is the first in our new leading-edge motorsports safety product line.

Designed with elite racing drivers in mind, the Corsa Evo incorporates the latest safety and performance technology. Constructed of 280gr/m Nomex material for an ultra-lightweight and breathable feel, this suit is approved by FIA 8856-2000 and SFI 3.2A/5 standards for use at even the highest level of competition.

The uniquely Italian design offers an ergonomic fit while maximising driver comfort. Proprietary parabolic lumbar and knee gusseting provide relief in the key stress areas drivers might encounter after extended periods behind the wheel. Floating arm gussets provide fuller range of motion while the anatomical sleeve patterning helps minimise material twist and bunching.

The MOMO Corsa Evo race suit is available in four distinctive colour combinations: Black, Blue, Red or White. 

Sizes range from 48 to 64 to fit drivers of all stature - please check the size chart for all measurements.

Product Description

Why Momo?

It all began with a passion for motor racing.

Giampiero Moretti, an amateur racing driver, had a unique steering wheel made for his car. Aside from being a smaller diameter than a conventional racing wheel of the day, the most distinctive part was the large diameter handgrip, that made the car far easier to drive.

It attracted the attention of many racing drivers, amongst them John Surtees, who drove for the Ferrari F1 team at the time, and had the Moretti wheel fitted to his 1964 race car. It was a great year for Surtees and Ferrari, who won the F1 World Championship, and also for Moretti’s steering wheel, which had its share of the glory. Requests for the steering wheel began to pour in and what started as a passion grew into a business.

In 1966 a plant in Tregnano, near Verona, Italy, was opened to produce these steering wheels, giving birth to MOMO (initials that stand for MORETTI-MONZA). The first order was from Ferrari, who had decided to use MOMO steering wheels on all its racing cars. With this formidable entrée, MOMO began to scale the international market. The steering wheel range broadened and production diversified, with the company starting to produce light alloy road wheels.

The importance of design in the success of MOMO products led to the creation of a separate division, MOMO DESIGN, in 1982. And the following year saw the birth of MOMO CORSE, specialising in the production and distribution of high technology racing equipment.

Today, MOMO is a global brand, representing the pinnacle in high-style accessories, tuning products, cutting edge alloy wheels and motorsport equipment, designed for real enthusiasts and manufactured with the same passion that started the ball rolling over 50 years ago.
