Barry, unless things have changed very recently, the two standards have no crossover.
Whether your SFI rated gear is OK for an FIA sanctioned event will depend on the event's status and what standard of equipment is specified.
If FIA homologated safety apparell is stipulated then the SFI gear is no good.
I believe that any event appearing on the FIA calendar (i.e. WRC, Regional Championship etc...) will require FIA homologated gear.
thanks a lot..i myself own a fia suit but someone i know who is looking to to do a rally overseas in europe this year bought a sfi suit so i was a bit concerned...okay :)
I would have thought it would be best to contact the governing body in whatever country they are going to. In fact ther organisers of the rally would probably know too :)
