FIA 8860-2004 Helmet Standards
FIA STANDARDS
FIA 8860-2004 : The current FIA 8860 standard helmet, which took eight years
to develop by the FIA and FIA Institute, provides drivers with increased
protection in all key impact areas.
The basic design consists of an exceptionally stiff and strong outer shell and
an energy absorbing inner liner. The outer shell protects the head from external
penetration and has been developed to work in combination with the inner liner
to provide the increased energy absorption. The outer shell of the FIA 8860-2004 helmet is designed not to deform, thus
allowing maximum energy absorption of the inner liner and minimum G-forces
inside the helmet. Now mandatory homologation for many high level series, from 01/01/2010 these include: F1, F2, GP2, GP3, Euro F3, British F3, Spanish F3, A1GP, DTM, WTCC, WRC, LMP1, LMP2, FIA GT1, FIA GT2, FIA GT3 and more
At this time Arai only offers 1 FIA 8860-2004 certified helmet, the ARAI GP6 RC
