Why choose a BELL helmet for car racing? | FIA and SNELL standards
This time, we’ve summarized the reasons and benefits of choosing BELL helmets (for automobile).
We’ll look at the main benefits of choosing a BELL helmet for car racing from three perspectives.
1. Maximum safety
BELL helmets have long been used in various top categories of motorsport, including Formula 1, the world’s pinnacle, and their safety is trusted by many drivers around the world.
The helmets are made from carbon fiber and composite materials with excellent impact absorption, and have passed rigorous safety tests, successfully achieving FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) and SNELL standards.
The liner, which is particularly excellent at absorbing impact thanks to its multi-layer structure, effectively absorbs and breaks down the impact of Gravitational acceleration that occurs at all speeds, from low to high, minimizing damage to the head.
2. Excellent comfort
Long drives can be physically exhausting, and fatigue can lead to a loss of concentration. In order to maintain concentration for longer, a comfortable helmet is essential.
BELL helmets are FIA-approved and have SNELL standards, with a particular focus on lightweight and breathable helmets.
◆Lightweight: A lightweight helmet reduces strain on the neck and prevents fatigue. The GT6 CARBON is designed specifically for closed-car racing and is the lightest of all BELL full-face helmets.
◆Ventilation: The efficient ventilation system with numerous duct holes (vents) allows hot air to escape from inside the helmet, keeping the driver comfortable while driving. In addition, the anti-fog shield has excellent adhesion, making it dustproof, waterproof, and keeps your field of vision clear without fogging up due to heat.
Many BELL helmet models, including the 7 Series such as the HP77, HP7, and RS7, are also equipped with double lens shields as standard.
3.High aerodynamic performance
Helmet stability is directly linked to precise driving at high speeds. Many BELL helmet models are designed based on wind tunnel testing and have excellent aerodynamic performance.
◆Stable: The aerodynamic design keeps the helmet stable and prevents it from shaking due to wind pressure while riding, allowing the driver to concentrate on driving.
◆Customization: There is a wide variety of aerodynamic parts available, such as spoilers and ducts, and you can customize your car, especially open wheels, to suit your purpose and vehicle model, and adjust the aerodynamic characteristics.
4. Other benefits
BELL helmets are manufactured to suit different applications, and in particular, the 6 Series helmets, such as the HP6 and GP6 CARBON, which are designed for closed cars, have a wide field of view (eyeport) and high visibility, making them suitable for drifting and other activities.
