The Arai GP-7 SA2020 Auto Racing 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 Construction) helmet shell with the same shell shape as the top-of-the-range GP-7SRC model used in Formula 1. 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.
The Arai GP-7 helmet is Snell SA2020 certified with factory-installed M6 washers/nuts. Drivers of any skill level can install their own Head and Neck Restraint system using a 6mm bolt. The FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker is applied to the interior liner of the helmet.
Arai Positive Shield Latch
Simple yet effective, the positive latch mechanism on the Arai GP-7 SA2020 helmet gives the driver solid shield latching, but is seamlessly integrated into the standard shield system for ease of use.
New Shield Pivot for the Arai GP-7
The Arai GP-7 SA2020 features new shield pivot hardware with improved aerodynamics based on the updated track slider design. An increased peripheral field of view is featured on the 6 series, which surpasses the 5 series in visibility. The wider eye port, shield, and pivot hardware were all developed on the RC and adapted to the Arai GP-7 SA2020 helmet.

ARAI GP-7 Increased Ventilation and Comfort
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 HANS 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. A flat surface area around the mounting nut will let the anchor post base to rest flush along the surface of the helmet and around the full perimeter of the anchor base.

Featuring a Redesigned Chin Bar
The Arai GP-7 SA2020’s new, ergonomic chin bar and ridge at the bottom edge of the shell lowers the center of gravity and increases the structural integrity of the helmet. Additional improvements include a rise in the shell above the shoulders for increased clearance.
E-Ject Ready Crown Pad for Safer Removal
Arai's optional E-Ject system can be easily accommodated via a pre-cut pocket under the helmet’s crown pad. This system makes removal of the helmet by track safety crew easier and less likely to jostle an unconscious driver's head in the event of an accident

A Note About Helmet Fitment and Head Measurement
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.
