Pre-order Special FREE 6' Cooling Hose ($170 value)
*Pre-order ETA July- August 2026
The Chillout Systems IceBox Driver Cooler System is a battery-powered compact, ice-based driver cooling system designed for racing, endurance driving, track days, and high-heat motorsport environments. The IceBox is the first ice-based driver cooling system with a patent-pending Passive Temperature Control system, giving drivers the ability to adjust cooling output anywhere between 45°F and 65°F.
This controlled cooling range helps keep drivers comfortable longer, reduces unnecessary over-cooling, and can extend ice life up to 4x longer than other obsolete ice-based coolers.
A New Standard for Motorsport Driver Cooling
The Chillout Systems IceBox is disrupting the motorsport cooling category by solving the biggest issues found in the antiquated ice-based systems: cold shock, bulky cooler size, inconsistent cooling output, and ice life of under an hour. Instead of circulating ice-cold water with no real temperature control, the IceBox delivers smooth, adjustable cooling that keeps the driver sharp and comfortable for up to three hours during demanding sessions and enduros. All other ice-based driver cooling systems are now obsolete.
Compared to obsolete older style ice cooling systems, the IceBox offers a more refined driver-cooling experience at a price anyone can afford. Its Passive Temperature Control system helps prevent the numbing cold-water shock that can restrict blood flow, leading to discomfort and poor circulation, while Panasonic Vacuum Insulation Panel technology helps lock in the cold for longer cooling performance. Battery power eliminates the need for 12v wiring and switches keeping your cockpit clean and orderly. The compact size and soft-sided construction reduces the footprint needed and offers the lowest weight option on the planet to save you tenths during your next lap.
Built for Endurance Racing
In endurance racing, driver comfort, quick service, and equipment flexibility can mean the difference between a podium finish and a DNF. The Chillout Systems IceBox is compact enough for race car installation and can be managed, serviced, and swapped during long race weekends. Teams can choose the version that best fits their installation needs: with the aluminum tray/baseplate for secure mounting or without the tray for the lightest possible setup.
Panasonic Vacuum Insulation Panel Technology
At the core of the IceBox is Panasonic Vacuum Insulation Panel technology, also known as VIP insulation. This is the same award-winning insulation technology used in aerospace and medical applications. VIP insulation uses ultra-thin vacuum-sealed panels to dramatically reduce heat transfer, helping keep the ice and water colder for longer.
Panasonic VIP insulation delivers 13x better thermal insulation than traditional foam. Because the panels are ultra-thin, the IceBox preserves a full 17 liters of usable capacity without the bulk of conventional ice coolers.
Passive Temperature Control
If you have used traditional ice-based coolers before, the difference is immediate. Instead of numbing cold water that shocks the skin and restricts circulation, the IceBox delivers smooth, controlled cooling that can be adjusted to where the driver’s body performs best.
Two key technologies make this possible: Panasonic VIP insulation locks the cold in with 13x the thermal performance of foam, while patent-pending Passive Temperature Control lets the driver dial cooling output between 45°F and 65°F. Together, they help prevent unnecessary over-cooling, extend ice life, and deliver race-ready cooling performance in harsh cockpit conditions.

Arai Protection, Updated for Modern Auto Racing
Pre-order Shipping July 2026
The Arai GPV-R FIA 8859-2024 Racing Helmet brings Arai's protection-first design philosophy to a modern auto racing helmet built for serious drivers. The redesigned shell lowers the visor attachment point to create a smoother, rounder upper shell area, helping impacts glance away from the helmet rather than driving force directly into the structure.
The GP-VAS visor system uses a lower pivot point while still allowing the visor to open fully without contacting the shell. Arai also lowered the upper visor line and adjusted the lower eye port edge to improve downward visibility, making it easier to see instruments, switches, and controls in the cockpit.

Built from ultra-strong Docol R8 Advanced High-Strength Steel, this roll bar is designed for drivers who want proper harness mounting, added rollover protection, and a premium installation worthy of the GTD platform.
American-Made Strength for a World-Class Mustang
Safety is the primary reason to install a roll bar in a car as capable as the Mustang GTD. The CMS Performance Mustang GTD Roll Bar is designed to position harness shoulder straps at the proper angle and distance to the driver while maintaining the clean, high-end look expected in a six-figure performance car.
Each roll bar is fully TIG welded from 1.75" x .095" Docol R8 Advanced High-Strength Steel tubing, offering exceptional strength with reduced weight compared to traditional mild steel construction.
The Mustang GTD roll bar comes complete with a custom-designed, carpeted three-panel rear seat-well cover that seamlessly integrates with the interior and fits perfectly with the roll bar for a factory-finished look. No cutting of your factory cover is required.
Precision Crafted and Custom Finished
Every CMS Performance Mustang GTD Roll Bar is handcrafted by experienced race car fabricators, 360o TIG welded for strength and durability, and custom powder coated in-house. Choose a finish that blends with the GTD’s factory interior and exterior styling, or select a custom powder coat color for a more personalized build.
The GTD is already an uber-serious two-seat, track-focused Mustang, and this roll bar complements that purpose-built character with a clean, professional, motorsport-inspired installation. Car and Driver describes the GTD as a two-passenger, two-door coupe, reinforcing its focused cockpit layout.

Kart Racing Helmet FAQs
Remember that safety is paramount in kart racing, and choosing the right helmet and maintaining it properly is essential for your protection on the track. Consult the professionals at Competition Motorsport any time you have specific questions about your racing helmet.
Why do I need a racing helmet?Auto and kart racing helmets are essential for protecting your head in high-speed accidents. They also shield against debris and, in some motorsports, fire—making them a non-negotiable safety requirement.
How do I choose the right size Kart Racing helmet?Use a flexible tape to measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Compare the measurement to the size chart. For more help, read our blog on how to fit your helmet properly at Competition Motorsport.
Can I use a motorcycle helmet for kart racing?No. Motorcycle helmets lack the kart-specific certifications and features like proper ventilation and impact resistance optimized for karting. Always use a helmet rated for motorsport competition.
How often should I replace my kart racing helmet?Replace your helmet every few years depending on usage and the manufacturer's guidance. If it’s been dropped, involved in an impact, or shows signs of wear, replace it immediately.
Are expensive racing helmets safer than budget ones?Yes, typically. While both must meet minimum safety standards, premium helmets offer lighter materials, better fit, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced comfort, all of which impact race performance and fatigue.
How do I maintain and clean my kart racing helmet?Clean the exterior and interior using a helmet-specific care product like the Molecule Helmet Care Kit. Avoid submerging the helmet or using abrasive cleaners. Visors should be cleaned gently to avoid scratching.
Do I need to wear a balaclava under my kart racing helmet?While not required for all karting events, a balaclava enhances comfort, keeps your helmet liner clean, and helps wick sweat. Fire-rated balaclavas are mandatory in sanctioned auto racing and recommended for high-performance karting.
Can I wear glasses with my kart racing helmet?Yes. Wide eye ports, make it compatible with most prescription glasses and racing eyewear. A good fit ensures the glasses remain stable and fog-free.
Are carbon fiber helmets better?Carbon fiber helmets are lighter and stronger, reducing fatigue during long races while offering excellent impact protection. They are a top choice for competitive drivers.
Can I use a used helmet for racing?It’s not recommended. Damage or degradation may not be visible, and older helmets might not meet current safety standards. Always buy new from an authorized dealer like Competition Motorsport.
What's the importance of proper helmet ventilation?Good ventilation helps manage heat and moisture inside the helmet, reducing fatigue and keeping you focused throughout your race.
How do I store my kart racing helmet between races?Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded helmet bag like our Competition Motorsport Evo Helmet Bag to prevent damage during transport or storage.
What is the difference between Snell K2025 and CMR2016 certifications?
Snell K2025 is designed for adult karting helmets, focusing on impact protection. CMR2016 is tailored for drivers under 15, offering a lighter helmet to reduce neck strain while maintaining safety standards.
Are tear-off visors necessary for kart racing?
Tear-off visors are beneficial in maintaining clear vision during races by allowing drivers to remove a dirty visor layer quickly. They are especially useful in outdoor karting where debris and dirt are common.
How do I know if my helmet is still safe to use?
Helmets should be inspected regularly for signs of wear or damage. If a helmet has been involved in a significant impact or shows signs of degradation, it should be replaced immediately. Additionally, helmets should be replaced every 5 years, even if no damage is visible.
Can I customize my kart racing helmet?
Yes, many manufacturers offer customization options for fit and aesthetics. However, any modifications should not compromise the helmet's structural integrity or safety certifications.
