    I wouldn’t be seen dead in any driving gloves unless on a track.

    How embarrassing! Strictly for poofs, IMO.

    No, they ARE useful on timber steering wheels.

    Having driven 100,000 MILES in cars with wooden steering wheels including Alfa GTVs and the various E-Types I've owned and I own driving gloves, I find them USELESS on cars with wooden steering wheels.:rolleyes:

    I will use them in the 991 as I don't wish to scratch the leather surround on that car's beautiful wheel with my nails

    They dramatically increase grip and thus safety when driving 60's cars with skinny wheel rims, wood or otherwise.

    For modern cars with leathet rims, they protect the leather from the acids in your sweat.

    Ironically, most race cars have alcantara wheel rims and gloves aren't needed. They're mandated due to fire protection.

    I've found the alcantara tends to flatten and wear from bare hands. The alcantara inserts on the palms of my (FIA) gloves really grip my old, worn wheel very well.

    I sweat like a bastard, and driving gloves are a necessity when I'm (trying) to go quickly.
    As you said, the sweat ruins the leather AND you hands slip.

    I laughed so much when the boys were telling me about you at the dinner most nights and some so-called telling everyone about his collection ..
