Something you won't mind the whole world seeing if your day goes badly. Leave the holy undies at home. White ones are a bit I a risk. Leave the Lacey drawers in your mrs drawer.

Usually skins. Occassionally thermals if temps are a bit crisp.

Skins and the like are your best choice. It also gives a better chance of getting gear off vs cutting it off (depending on injury of course). In the pits, you can more easily take the top off (on 2 pc) or drape top of 1pc behind you.
For the ladies, definitely enables some modesty as anything more than a minor injury usually needs chest access.

Yep. The only time I have ever had my jeans cut off I was wearing a banana hammock. And my dad had I come and pick me up.
And he didn't go home and get pants for me first.

Racing is NOT for those that have a HIGH degree of modesty ..

I never used to get hot in fact some of the winter series I was riding with 3 layers under leathers one being full size polar fleece.
I was a lazy rider that never moved around a lot though.

The real humour is the rest of the "outfit". I left the hospital in jeans that were surgical stapled back together.
But until the nurses stopped snickering and relented to stapling my pants up it was: Brando style leather jacket, white Beefy-T, Johnny Rebs and the G banger.
They sure did come back to check on my walking a lot.
There are certain times in life one is glad to not have on film.
Since then every time a call is being made to emergency services, even if it has nothing to do with me the first thought is always. What undies am I wearing, will this look like the cover of b grade porn?

the G banger.
That image has been tucked into the 90% of my brain that doesn't get used.
Its why humans use only 10%. Leaves 90% to hide shiz you don't want to recall.

Good times. All times that don't end in a dirt nap are good times from the right perspective.

I've heard lycra is great for under leathers. It makes it easy to get them on and off even if your sweaty as a bastard and it can help prevent the leather 'grabbing' your skin if you come off.

Under amour do a skins equivilant but are much cheaper (around $80 a peice) and actually have warm gear and cool gear.
I.e the warm gear is slightly termal lined (about half a polyprop) which is great in the cooler times - the cool gear is designed to actually make you cooler, i.e allow heat to escape, which is great on a hot race day. Skins or these under garments orginally were designed to aid in recovery post sports, they work really well for that IF you leave them on post your riding/racing/trackday. I.e at Phillip Island we will do around 400ks on track per day coaching, for up to 3 days in a row. I leave the gear on till about 8pm, and the next day you really notice how un ROOTED your legs are.
Hope this helps
