Auto Racing Helmets

Shop Snell and FIA rated auto racing helmets for road racing, endurance, oval, dirt, drag, autocross, drift and rally, from Bell, Zamp and OMP. Compare full-face and open-face helmets, single and dual certifications, and helmets built for head-and-neck restraints.

Shopping for karting or youth helmets? See all racing helmets.

How to Choose an Auto Racing Helmet

  1. Start with your rulebook. Your sanctioning body lists the helmet ratings it accepts. Choose a helmet with one of those ratings first, then narrow by features.
  2. Pick full face or open face. Full-face helmets cover most car racing. Open-face helmets suit closed cars where your rules allow them, such as rally and vintage racing.
  3. Match your head-and-neck restraint. If you wear a HANS or similar device, choose a helmet with anchor points that fit it.
  4. Measure for fit. Measure around the widest part of your head, about one inch above your eyebrows, and compare it with the size chart for that exact helmet.

Racing Helmets by Type of Racing

Snell and FIA Racing Helmet Ratings

Rating What it is
Snell SA2025 Snell's current standard for auto racing helmets
FIA 8859 The FIA's standard for competition helmets
FIA 8860 The FIA's advanced helmet standard, its highest helmet rating
Snell SA2025 + FIA 8859 Dual-rated helmets that meet both standards, useful if you race in series that list either one

Some helmets carry the previous Snell SA2020 rating. Check whether your series still accepts it before you buy. Shop all Snell SA2025 helmets.

Auto Racing Helmets FAQ

What is the best auto racing helmet for beginners?

The best helmet is the one your rulebook accepts and that fits you correctly. For autocross, drift and first track days, a multi-use Snell SA2025 helmet such as the Bell M8 SPORT or Zamp RZ-57 is a practical start, and it also works for karting where your series accepts Snell SA.

What helmet do I need for drag racing?

Helmet rules for drag racing come from your sanctioning body and can differ by class. Check your rulebook for the required rating, then choose a full-face helmet that matches it, such as the Snell SA2025 Bell RS7 PRO or Bell M8 SPORT.

What is the difference between Snell and FIA helmets?

Snell is a U.S. nonprofit that tests and certifies helmets. The FIA is the international motorsport governing body and writes its own helmet standards. U.S. series commonly list Snell SA ratings, and international events list FIA ratings. Dual-rated helmets carry both.

Shop all Snell SA2025 helmets.

Where can I buy auto racing helmets online?

FAST RACER sells auto racing helmets online from Bell, Zamp and OMP, including Snell SA2025, FIA 8859 and FIA 8860 rated helmets. Each product page lists the helmet's certification, so you can match it to your rulebook before you order. Orders of $50 or more ship free.

What if my racing helmet doesn't fit?

Measure around the widest part of your head, about one inch above your eyebrows, and compare it with the size chart for that helmet. Try it on indoors first. If it doesn't fit, exchange it for another size or return it within 30 days in as-new condition, with original packaging and tags. Custom interior color helmets can't be returned. See our Returns & Exchanges Policy.

Auto Racing Helmets for Sale Online

Shop auto racing helmets for sale online at FAST RACER, from multi-use helmets for your first track day to FIA 8860 helmets for open-wheel racing. Check the rating on each product page against your rulebook, then choose the size that matches your head measurement.

Questions about Auto Racing Helmets

Q&A

5 answered questions

  • Can you use a motorcycle helmet for car racing?

    admin

    • No. A motorcycle helmet is not built for car racing. The Snell SA2025 auto racing standard requires flame resistance and metal inserts for HANS / FHR anchors, which motorcycle helmet standards do not. Car racing series set their own helmet rules, usually a Snell SA or FIA rating, so check your rulebook. Shop auto racing helmets.

      admin

  • Which SA2025 helmet is right for my type of racing?

    seo@fastracer.com

    • Staff Answer
      Match the helmet to your car. Closed-cockpit sedans and GT: Bell GT6. Open-wheel and formula: Bell RS7. Dirt track: Bell BR8 or Zamp RZ-38 Dirt Track. Open face: Bell MAG SPORT or OMP GP-I. All-round club racing: Bell K1 SPORT or M8 SPORT. Racing FIA events too? Pick a helmet also rated FIA 8859-2024. Shop Snell SA2025 helmets.

      seo@fastracer.com

  • How should an auto racing helmet fit?

    seo@fastracer.com

    • Staff Answer
      Slightly tight, with no pressure points. Wearing your balaclava, measure around your head half an inch above the eyebrows and just above the ears, then match the size chart. The helmet should not move, and the cheek pads should not press xxxx your cheekbones. Between sizes? Size up, try one in Orlando, or exchange within 30 days. Shop auto racing helmets.

      seo@fastracer.com

  • Do Snell SA2025 helmets work with a HANS or FHR device?

    seo@fastracer.com

    • Staff Answer
      Yes, with the right hardware. Many Snell SA2025 helmets that are also rated FIA 8859-2024, such as the Bell RS7 PRO and GT6 PRO, ship with HANS / FHR anchors factory-installed. SA2025-only helmets like the Bell K1 SPORT have M6 terminals instead, so you add an FIA 8858 clip set. Check the product page for your helmet. Shop HANS devices, tethers and anchors.

      seo@fastracer.com

  • How long will a Snell SA2025 helmet be accepted for racing?

    seo@fastracer.com

    • Staff Answer
      It depends on your series. Snell does not set a racing expiration date; each sanctioning body decides how long it accepts an SA-rated helmet. For example, our 2026 karting rules guide shows SKUSA accepting SA2020 helmets until December 31, 2030. Check your current rulebook, and replace any helmet after a crash or hard impact. Shop Snell SA2025 helmets.
