The new ARAI GP-7SRC ABP is a stunning example of Arai vision and technological mastery, engineered into a functional, real-world piece of safety equipment. It begins with a startling advancement: a proprietary Carbon Fiber (CF) weave that combines CF existing benefits of high strength and extreme light weight.
But there's 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 high end closed-cockpit racing. The remaining list of ARAI GP-7SRC features and advances is impressive because, for this helmet and its prospective user, it simply has to be. The ARAI GP-7SRC ABP meets or exceeds the FIA 8860-2018 ABP homologation standard.
ARAI GP-7SRC ABP 8860-2018 CARBON FIBER HELMET - ABP (ADVANCED BALLISTIC PROTECTION)
FIA's new ABP (Advanced Ballistic Protection) specification is intended especially for drivers in open cars.
The ARAI GP-7SRC ABP has been strengthened in the forehead area, incorporating an external intrusion panel (previously mounted to the shield) that is now integrated into the helmet shell itself. The ABP homologation was written to reduce the risk of injury from debris or other objects striking a driver head.
ARAI GP-7SRC ABP 8860-2018 CARBON FIBER HELMET - VENTILATION
Three large, closeable, intake vents combined with larger 10mm holes and two aditional exhaust vents in the center of the helmet greatly increase air flow. A redesigned exhaust cowling improves aerodynamics, drawing out hot air escaping the helmet.

An effective helmet is one that fits properly. To get the most accurate measurement please have an assistant use a fabric measuring tape or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head starting at a point approximately one inch above your eyebrows in front, around a point in the back of your head that results in the largest possible measurement, and finally wrapping back to the front. It is a good idea to take several measurements to make sure you have the largest one.
