Gloves aren't mandatory, but recommended if the right kind. From SV's website ( http://www.speedventures.net/faq.asp#A2 )
"5. We don't require gloves, but if you do wear them, we suggest you don't wear leather gloves. Unless your gloves are specifically-designed racing gloves (Sparco, Momo, G-force, Pyrotech, etc.), leather shrinks in a fire, which wouldn't be a good thing for your hands.
The reason we don't allow synthetic fabrics is that they're almost always flammable. As incredibly unlikely as it is that you're going to have a fire, you'd definitely be happier wearing something that won't catch fire and melt onto your skin."
