subject: Sunglasses All Over The V8 Supercars At Phillip Island [print this page] One of the most anticipated motorsports events in Australia took place this weekend. The Phillip Island 300 featuring V8 Supercars and Australian Superbikes went around the Phillip Island grand prix circuit for a weekend of thrilling racing that will excite fans all around the country.
Motor racing fans will converge to Phillip Island for the race weekend that kicked off on May 18th with tons of activities for the fans and the drivers. All the events in the race weekend started in the early afternoon sun and what better way to watch all the action than with your sports sunglasses .
The first sessions began in the mornings so its a long day out in the sunshine enjoying the racing. As a fan, youd like to avoid the sun to take care of your eyes and you wouldnt want to miss the high speed action of the practice sessions. So its best that you wear polarized lenses, these lenses protect your eyes by reducing incoming light and ultraviolet radiation off the race track and all the cars zooming around the track that are highly reflective.
Wearing sunglasses isnt just for the fans. Its also for the pit crew, car engineers, and especially drivers who will be out under the sun the whole race weekend. Last years winner of the V8 Supercar in Phillip Island Mark Skaife likes to wear Oakley Why 8.0 sports sunglasses. Theyre known for their lightness and super durability that will protect his eyes when hes not inside his car.
Car engineers and mechanics also wear polarised lenses to protect their eyes. They may be hidden inside the pit garage for most of the race weekend but they have to regularly check the condition of the cars and drivers that are out on track. And with practice sessions, qualifying sessions and the race itself scheduled the whole afternoon theyre sure to get enough exposure to the damaging sun.
Wearing sunglasses isnt just for the racing champions and their entourage in the races. If youre watching, even if youre watching under the shade of the stadium roof your eyes need protecting from all the intense glare. There will be too much glare, excess light and stray reflections that can harm your eyes leading to irritation.
If youre a race follower then make sure youre wearing your favourite pair of sports sunglasses to the next big event so you can enjoy it all day long. This way you will be able to watch and enjoy the race even if the afternoon sun is bright and harsh.
