Has anyone tried the Alpinestars Tech-1 ZX V4 Gloves yet? I ordered a pair of the red gloves, and they should be arriving tomorrow. Did this for a couple reasons.

1. Visibility for other drivers.
2. They say they are touch screen compatible.
3. Identity (The color differs from what @Club Version and Gridzilla use.

If they are touch screen compatible that would be awesome!

If they are touch screen compatible that would be awesome!

Here's their little blurb:

• External seams prevent pressure points and provide superior comfort to the driver.
• Pre-curved fingers and palm help improve fit and reduce fatigue while driving.
• Outer grip zones for superb control and feel of the cockpit’s controls.
• Ergonomically designed 3D grip technology on palm and fingers with strategically positioned silicone surface patterning for improved flexibility and control.
• Touchscreen compatible.

I don’t know which model my Alpine gloves are but they are definitely not touchscreen compatible.

My yellow ones definitely were not touch screen compatible.

In my experience, external seams feel good on your hand but are less durable. The exposed edges of the fabric start to fray earlier whereas internal seams protect the edges.

I have a pair of AlpineStars gloves with internal seams and I love them. They fit me really well.

I had a pair of Sparco external stitched that lasted 10 years, and still good, so I still use them on the sim

These gloves are awesome! I can confirm that they are indeed touch screen compatible!

Whelp...Just dropped the car off for paint correction, "track package" PPF, windshield PPF, and ceramic coat! Still haven't hit the 500 mile mark, and now the car will be down for at least a week or more for all of this work to be completed!

I thought this was kind of neat, though fairly unreliable information since a lot of people that run TT or race etc will conceal their lap times in order to hide any kind of advantage that they may have. This time was put down in the same session that I crashed the car. There was a completely track prepped FK8 out there that weekend that I understand is capable of running in the 2:08's, but that car was HEAVILY modded. So for what it's worth, I'll take it! According to this unreliable data, I hold the lap record for the FL5 at VIR...lol

I knew it was moving quick! I was super impressed with the time.

I saw 145mph blip just before I hit the brakes on the back straight. That's significantly faster over stonk.

I need to know the meaning behind “Club Version”.

I grew up watching Hot Version and one of my favorite cars is the S2000 Club Racer, since Club Racer was taken on YouTube I came up with Club Version.
