Arai GP-7SRC ABP Carbon Racing Helmet
The Best Arai Auto Racing Helmet
The new Arai GP-7SRC ABP is a stunning example of Arai’s 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’s 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.
Advanced Ballistic Protection The Formula One Standard
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’s head.
Arai GP-7SRC ABP 8860-2018 Carbon Fiber Ventilation
Three large, close-able, intake vents combined with larger 10mm holes and two additional 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. The GP-7SRC comes with all vents unattached so you can customize the vent configuration to your specific needs.
Arai Positive Shield Latch
Arai's positive latch mechanism provides solid shield closure while allowing normal operation of the shield. Designed as an integral component of the shield system, not just an add-on afterthought, its functional simplicity belies the complexity of the design.
Installed HANS Post Anchors Included
Integrated seats accommodate a variety of Head and Neck Restraint devices. Pre-installed M6 threaded washer/nut with 6mm threads accepts a variety of anchor systems, making installation easy. The flat surface around the mounting nut allows the anchor post to rest flush on the helmet surface.
Arai's Most Advanced ABP Carbon Fiber Shell
Available in sizes XS through Large. Arai's proprietary carbon fiber material and weave provide an extremely strong yet flexible material, helping manage impact energy. Multiple reinforcing materials are used to improve performance while keeping weight and bulk to a minimum.
Eject-Ready Crown Pad
Pre-cut pocket under the crown pad can be easily removed to accommodate the optional eject system.
Drink Tube Compatible
The GP-7SRC chin liner is now more easily removed to install a drink tube into the liner. The chin liner comes standard with four different drink hose placements.
This helmet will ship with signature required for delivery.

Getting The Best Fit for Your Arai GP-7SRC Carbon
The Arai GP-7SRC 8860-2018 is available in sizes XS to Large. The most effective helmet is one that fits properly. To measure your head, have an assistant use a dressmaker's tape or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head. Start at a point about an inch above your eyebrows, looping around the back of your head at the point that results in the largest measurement, and finally around to the front again. It's a good idea to take two or three measurements to make sure you have the largest one.
