FIA standard 8860-2018 GP-7 SRC
The
new GP-7 SRC is an absolute masterpiece of Arai engineering,
performance and comfort. It also conforms to the new 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). 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.
