In Formula One, Arai is the favourite choice of winners. Arai can claim the unparalleled world-class quality, reputation and technology to be chosen by many drivers on the Formula one grid for many years. Since we started with Keke Rosberg in 1984 and motorsports legend Nigel Mansell afterwards, we gathered an extensive knowledge and experience in Formula one. Arai is not only the leader in Formula One, just take a look at any race and notice how many frontrunners prefer Arai. And Arai does not make custom “racing helmets” for drivers. The same helmet you see on the track is also available for you at your local Arai dealer. The carbon fibre GP-6 RC incorporates the very best Arai technology to meet the FIA 8860-2010 standard. The GP-6 RC is the obvious choice for drivers competing in Formula 1, GP2, FIA GT, WTCC and other classes where the stringent FIA 8860-2010 regulations apply. The state of the art Arai GP-6RC helmet is a stunning example of Arai’s vision and technology made into a real world piece of equipment. It is made from a proprietary weave of carbon fiber that combines the existing light weight and high strength of Carbon Fiber with added flexibility which standard CF does not possess. This flexibility of the GP-6RC shell allows the helmet to flex on impact and not splinter or shatter like standard CF is known to do. This gives Arai the ability to produce a helmet ready for the demands and requirements of Formula 1 Racing. All the know how and experience we gained in years of F1 racing, is incorporated in this helmet. Perfect aerodynamic properties, improved ventilation and unsurpassed fit and comfort all make the GP-6 RC the ultimate racing helmet. All GP-6 RC helmets come standard with a PED set and Emergency Release System cheek pads. Improved visor lock that can be operated with one hand with gloves, smooth Nomex® neckroll, Kevlar® chin straps and Nomex® lining.

How to Measure
To find the right helmet size, measure all the way round your head at the widest point. Keep the tape measure above your ears and make sure that the tape measure is not too tight, nor too loose. Take your measurement in centimeters (cm), not inches.
Checking for Best Fit
When a new helmet is first worn, it should actually be slightly tight, with the interior coming into contact with most of the head, but not so restrictive that it causes any pain. There should be no "hot spots" - places where the helmet's interior puts pressure on specific points of the skull or face - but it should not move around freely. With time, a helmet will adjust to match the shape of the rider's head as it is worn and goes through "break-in" and loosens up a little. However, it should never become loose enough to easily turn from side to side.
Put the helmet on - it should be a little tight as it goes on over the head
The helmet should sit on the head evenly with the eye port's upper edge sitting just above the eyebrows and have good peripheral vision available to see side-to-side
Try putting a finger between the helmet interior and the head. If it easily fits, a smaller size should be tried next. Note that some helmet models allow for the cheek pads to be changed out for better fitment, so consider this too when checking for proper sizing

•Shell Construction: CFC (Carbon Fibre Composite)
•CFC (Carbon Fibre Composite). Exclusive technology developed internally by Arai for the GP-6RC F-1 helmet utilizes carbon fibre found in the latest generation of commercial airlines, and is bonded with Arai´s proprietary resins and is reinforced with a band of incredibly super fibre belt specifically oriented to disperse energy loads laterally across the shell surface. In the forehead area, this band increases shell strength without adding thickness or weight, and allows the use of a thinner EPS liner which greatly enhances the upward field of view – especially appreciated in a full racing tuck!
