The GP-7 SRC ABP (Advanced Ballistic Protection) is an absolute masterpiece of Arai engineering, performance and comfort. It also conforms to the FIA standard 8860-2018, which is intended to be the safest in the world for top-end helmets used in motor sports and an advance on FIA 8860-2010.

 

Key to the GP-7 SRC’s fundamental strength is its shell, which is built around a proprietary Carbon Fibre (CF) weave that combines CF’s existing benefits of high strength and extreme light weight with a major added benefit that standard CF does not possess – flexibility (standard CF tends to splinter or shatter instead of flex on impact).

 

For open cockpit racing the GP-7 SRC ABP offers Advanced Ballistic Protection with a specification built around development of a unique advanced ballistic test, based on military specifications. Protection is provided against projectiles weighing up to 225 grams and travelling at 250kp/h. The eye port from the ABP version is lowered by 10mm.

 

The result is a helmet ready for the unparalleled demands and requirements of car racing, whose list of technological features is impressive because, for this helmet and its prospective user, it simply has to be.
