Highly recommended but not required for beginner group, also depends on track org rules.

If you show up in intermediate/advanced in a textile suit people will be looking at you funny. And not good kind of funny.
And if by your 3rd TD all the crashes haven't convinced you to buy a one-piece, nothing will.

All that said, friend of mine rides in A with a 2-piece. Been down 4 times in 2 years, last one was a hard brake front end tuck at 100mph. Not a scratch. Lucky? Yes, but in that crash (which the bike has earned the name Tumbler) we weren't worried about suit at all.
