In top-level motorsport, safety evolves at the same pace as performance, and the helmet remains the driver’s ultimate protection. The Arai GP-7 SRC ABP, the flagship model developed with the support of some of the greatest drivers to meet the FIA’s most demanding standard: FIA 8860-2018 ABP.

The ABP (Advanced Ballistic Protection) version of the GP-7 SRC has been specifically designed for open-cockpit cars, where exposure to debris is at its highest. The eye port opening has been reduced by 10 mm and the shell reinforced to withstand 225 g projectiles travelling at speeds of up to 250 km/h. A major step forward that pushes driver protection standards even further.

The outer shell is made from premium woven carbon, ensuring exceptional rigidity and strength while retaining a degree of flexibility. Unlike other carbon structures that may shatter, this shell flexes under impact to avoid fragmentation, all while maintaining controlled weight. The shell’s aerodynamics have also been optimized to reduce unwanted noise and improve airflow penetration, a valuable advantage for high-speed stability.

Designed for efficiency in racing conditions, the visor locking system has been revised to make operation easier, even when wearing gloves. The 3 mm thick visor features a new screw system that is both more precise and more secure. The Nomex® interior provides enhanced comfort while reducing aerodynamic noise, helping the driver stay focused during critical phases.

The GP-7 SRC ABP comes complete with a full accessory pack:

• 1 aerodynamic kit (top wing + spoiler)
• 1 screw kit
• 1 special screwdriver
• 1 HANS clips kit
• 1 complete ventilation kit (to be installed according to your needs)

With FIA 8860-2018 ABP homologation, this helmet meets the strictest safety standard in the world, now mandatory in many international racing categories. The GP-7 SRC ABP embodies the pinnacle of Arai technology: advanced ballistic protection, refined comfort, and optimized aerodynamics, designed for the most demanding racing environments. Choose Arai excellence and take the start with absolute confidence.
