Bell Racing GT6 RD 4C/EC Auto Racing Helmet IMSA Comms, Hydration, and ZeroNoise® in a Race-Ready Shell Built for serious endurance and GT drivers, the Bell Racing GT6 RD 4C/EC Helmet brings full comms and hydration integration into a track-ready shell without compromise. With its titanium finish, aggressive HP6-derived design, and wide eye port for visibility in tight cockpits, this is the helmet for those who treat every lap like a qualifying session. The GT6 RD 4C/EC is ready for IMSA communication and hydration systems right out of the box—because seconds count, even off the throttle. 4C: Carbon Composite 4 Layer Construction On Bell helmets, “4C” stands for “Carbon Composite 4 Layer Construction.” It refers to the shell technology Bell uses: a 4-layer carbon composite laminate. This blend typically combines carbon fiber with other advanced fibers (like Kevlar® or fiberglass) in multiple layers. The purpose is to deliver a shell that is lighter than fiberglass alone, but more affordable and versatile than Bell’s top-end full carbon HP series shells (like HP7 or HP77 which use pure carbon/advanced aerospace layups). In the case of this Carbon-4C/EC model, the helmet is a Carbon Composite 4-layer shell with EC (electronic comms) kit integration. Features: Integrated IMSA Radio & Hydration System: Comes pre-installed with electronics and tubing for plug-and-play connection to your team’s radio and drink system. 4C/EC Carbon-Glass Composite Shell: Lightweight and high-strength, built from premium carbon-glass for optimal energy absorption and all-day wearability in long stints. ZeroNoise® Advanced Electronics: Equipped with high-power speakers, a noise-canceling microphone, and superior sound insulation for crisp in-car communication even in loud environments. Wide Eyeport: Offers exceptional lateral and vertical visibility, ideal for closed-cockpit racing where every degree of vision matters. Track-Proven Ventilation: Strategically placed intake ports can be connected to cooling systems for maximum airflow in hot race conditions. Standards: Dual certified to FIA 8859-2015 and Snell SA2020 for maximum track-day and competition eligibility. Bell Racing GT6 RD Carbon 4C/EC Helmet FAQs: What’s the difference between the GT6 and the GT6 RD? The GT6 RD includes factory-installed IMSA radio comms and hydration ports, while the standard GT6 does not. Is this compatible with ear buds or over-ear speakers? Yes, the 4C version supports both ear cups and ear buds depending on your personal or team setup. Uses IMSA connections. What is ZeroNoise® and why does it matter? ZeroNoise® is Bell's advanced audio platform, engineered for crystal-clear in-car communication with minimal distortion and maximum driver focus. Can I use this helmet for endurance racing? Absolutely. With comms, hydration, and a lightweight carbon-glass shell, it's made for long hours in the car at high intensity. The Bell GT6 RD 4C is the pro’s choice when comfort, comms, and clarity matter most. From sprint races to 24-hour stints, this helmet brings together titanium-level fit, cutting-edge audio, and pure performance.

Arai GP-7 SA2020 Helmet A driver favorite, the Arai GP-7 SA2020 helmet combines the most popular Arai features with new, improved upgrades. The Arai GP-7 is constructed with Arai’s own PBcLc (Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate) shell construction and the same shell shape as the Formula One-grade GP-7SRC model. New ventilation, a soft EPS liner, and a wider eye port for optimized peripheral vision are part of this new shell which gives the driver notable strength and flexibility. Replaceable cheek pads make racing comfortable for any driver, as do the three larger, closeable intake vents and two larger exhaust vents on the ventilation system.

ARAI GP-7 AUTO RACING HELMET VENTILATION Increased airflow is key to the GP-7 SA2020 helmet’s design. This includes bigger, closeable intake vents with large 10mm holes in both front and rear. Larger rear vents also provide better airflow. M6 ANCHORS FOR THE ARAI GP-7 HELMET Drivers of all skill levels will appreciate the integrated, pre-installed M6 threaded washer/nut with 6mm threads which accepts a range of Head and Neck Restraint devices.

FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker applied to the interior liner material. NEW CHINBAR FOR THE ARAI GP-7 The Arai GP-7 SA2020’s new, ergonomic chinbar and ridge at the bottom edge of the shell lowers the center of gravity and increases the structural integrity of the helmet.

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. This helmet will ship with signature required for delivery.

Bell Kart Racing Helmet – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 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. What is the best helmet for kart racing? The Bell KC7-CMR is widely considered one of the best karting helmets, offering a carbon shell, Snell K2020 certification, and premium features for serious kart racers. Why do I need a kart 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 Bell’s sizing chart. For more help, read our blog on how to fit your helmet properly at Competition Motorsport. What safety standards should I look for in a kart racing helmet? Look for the Snell K2020 certification for karting. It ensures your helmet meets rigorous standards for impact protection. Unlike DOT (for street use), K2020 is designed specifically for motorsports. 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. Is the Snell K rating important? Yes. The Snell K2020 certification is the most widely accepted kart helmet standard, required by many racing series to ensure safety and performance. 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. How can I prevent helmet fogging during races? Use a visor with built-in anti-fog technology like Bell’s DSAF system, or apply an anti-fog spray or insert. Keeping your helmet well-ventilated also helps. 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 K2020 and CMR2016 certifications?Snell K2020 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.

General Helmet Questions What is the best helmet for kart racing?The Bell KC7-CMR is widely considered one of the best karting helmets, offering a carbon shell, Snell K2020 certification, and premium features for serious kart racers. Why do I need a racing helmet?Auto and kart racing helmets protect your head in high-speed accidents and shield against debris and, in some motorsports, fire. A helmet is the most important safety item you own. How do I choose the right size kart racing helmet?Use a flexible tape to measure your head just above the eyebrows and ears. Compare the result to Bell’s sizing chart. For step-by-step help, read our helmet fitting guide at Competition Motorsport. What safety standards should I look for in a kart racing helmet?Snell K2020 certification is the top safety standard for kart racing. It ensures rigorous impact protection. Avoid DOT-only helmets—they are not rated for motorsport use. Can I use a motorcycle helmet for kart racing?No. Motorcycle helmets lack kart-specific certifications and may not offer the impact resistance and ventilation optimized for karting. Always choose a motorsport-rated helmet. How often should I replace my kart racing helmet?Replace your helmet every 3–5 years depending on use. Replace it immediately if it has been dropped, damaged, or involved in an impact—even if no damage is visible. Are expensive helmets safer than budget ones?Yes, in most cases. Premium helmets typically use lighter, stronger materials and offer better ventilation and comfort—all factors that reduce driver fatigue and improve safety. Helmet Use, Fit & Maintenance How do I maintain and clean my helmet?Use helmet-safe cleaners like the Molecule Care Kit. Do not submerge the helmet. Clean visors gently with microfiber cloths to avoid scratching. Do I need to wear a balaclava under my helmet?A balaclava improves comfort, protects the liner, and wicks away sweat. Fire-rated balaclavas are recommended and often required in competitive environments. Is the Snell K2020 rating important?Yes. It’s the most widely accepted kart helmet certification in national and international competition. Always check your series' rulebook for specific helmet requirements. Can I wear glasses with my kart helmet?Yes. Bell helmets feature wide eye ports compatible with most prescription glasses and racing eyewear, allowing for a stable, fog-free fit. Are carbon fiber helmets better?Carbon fiber helmets are lighter and stronger than traditional composite helmets. They reduce fatigue in long sessions while offering superior impact protection.

Always buy new from a trusted dealer like Competition Motorsport. Performance Questions How can I prevent helmet fogging?Use anti-fog visors like Bell’s DSAF system, or apply an anti-fog spray or insert. Keep vents open to maintain airflow inside the helmet during races. Why is ventilation important?Ventilation keeps you cool, reduces moisture inside the helmet, and helps prevent fatigue during intense sessions. A properly ventilated helmet helps you perform at your best. How do I store my helmet between races?Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded helmet bag—like the Competition Motorsport Evo Helmet Bag—to prevent damage during storage or transport. Helmet Certification Questions What is the difference between Snell K2020 and CMR2016 certifications?Snell K2020 is for adult helmets, offering top-tier impact protection. CMR2016 is required for drivers under 15, with a lighter shell to reduce neck fatigue in younger racers. Are tear-off visors necessary?Yes. Tear-offs are a must-have for outdoor karting. They keep your visor clear by allowing you to quickly remove dirty outer layers while racing. How do I know if my helmet is still safe to use?Inspect it regularly for cracks, fading, and loose components. Replace it after any significant impact or every 5 years regardless of use. Never compromise on safety. Can I customize my helmet?Yes. Many brands—including Bell—offer customization options.

It's a good idea to take two or three measurements to make sure you have the largest one. This helmet will ship to you with signature required for delivery.

Have an assistant use a measuring tape or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head, starting at a point approximately one inch above the eyebrows in front, around a point in the back of the head that results in the largest possible measurement, and finally wrapping back to the front. It's a good idea to take several measurements and use the largest one to ensure the best fit.

Kart Racing Helmet – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 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.

The Arai SK-6 kart helmet is used by more than 80% of kart racers and widely considered the best karting helmet, offering premium features for serious kart racers. 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 Bell’s sizing chart. For more help, read our blog on how to fit your helmet properly at Competition Motorsport. What safety standards should I look for in a kart racing helmet? Look for the Snell K2020 certification for karting. It ensures your helmet meets rigorous standards for impact protection. Unlike DOT (for street use), K2020 is designed specifically for motorsports. 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. Is the Snell K rating important? Yes. The Snell K2020 certification is the most widely accepted kart helmet standard, required by many racing series to ensure safety and performance. 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. How can I prevent helmet fogging during races? Use a visor with built-in anti-fog technology like Bell’s DSAF system, or apply an anti-fog spray or insert. Keeping your helmet well-ventilated also helps. 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 K2020 and CMR2016 certifications? Snell K2020 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. Where can I buy a certified racing helmet? Buy from trusted experts like Competition Motorsport, online or in-person at any of our retail locations across the USA. We carry all major brands, including Arai, Bell, Stilo, and Schuberth, and support hundreds of racing events nationwide.
