Arai GP-7 SRC ABP Carbon Helmet

The Arai GP-7 SRC ABP Carbon Helmet is Arai's strongest helmet ever made, meeting the highest safety standards FIA 8860-2018 ABP (Advanced Ballistic Protection) that was made mandatory in Formula 1 since 2019. Made entirely from ultra lightweight and immensely strong hand laid carbon fibre the helmet shell is profiled to accommodate the FHR device. The SRC (Super Racing Carbon) construction differs to regular carbon as it is designed to flex without splintering. Any flex in the outer is transferred to the multi-density inner shell which dissipates impact energy resulting in unparalleled protection for the wearer.

The visor opening and locking system features lever operation which is simple and effective to use even within the tight confines of a single seater or when wearing gloves.

• FIA Approved fire resistant lining
• SRC (Super Racing Carbon) construction provides the ultimate in protection and safety
• Visor opening system with lever for easier opening
• Multi density hybrid inner shell
• Emergency release tab cheek pads

The visor aperture features increased dimensions for a wider and deeper field of vision and the 3mm, compound curve visor is prepared for use with tear offs which are available to purchase separately.

Helmet ventilation features 5 inlets (2 on the chin bar and 3 adjustable scoops) and 2 outlets on the crown (these crown vents feature a 25% increase in diameter) and ensures both increased comfort and increased ventilation for visor clarity.

The helmet is supplied with the famous Arai PED spoiler kit and has factory supplied HANS/FHR posts. The shell is supplied in a clear finish in preparation for painting to your design or for lacquering to emphasise the visible carbon weave.

Please note: the GP-7 SRC ABP helmet is supplied without any top vents fitted (vent holes are left open). Each helmet box will contain a package with various ventilation ducts so that the driver can choose what’s most suitable depending on driving position and personal preference. These are the parts included: Performance Enhancement Device (PED) kit (spoiler set front and rear), Screw Kit (4 x torx, 4 x washer & 1 x pressure plate set), Vent kit (7 x Tear Duct, 2 x TDF3, 1 x XDB2), Post anchor set, Torx (T20) screwdriver, Sticker set (2 x 11cm, 2 x 9cm w/masking film for custom painting, 2 x 5.5cm).

This helmet has only been homologated in sizes up to and including Large. If you require a size X-Large, currently the only option is to choose the Arai GP-6RC Helmet.
