If you're shopping for a serious Zamp Helmet built for asphalt track racing, this one's worth your full attention. Zach Armstrong from Zamp Racing recently joined us at Fast Racer to deliver an in-depth look at their brand-new model. In this post, we'll walk through everything he shared about the Zamp RZ-61S – the latest Snell SA2025 rated helmet that's turning heads in the racing community.
The RZ-61S is a brand-new Snell SA2025 rated helmet from Zamp-Racing. This isn't a minor refresh – it's a purpose-built Racing Helmet designed from the ground up for real track conditions. From fit and finish to the latest safety certification, everything about the Zamp RZ-61S reflects the feedback Zamp has gathered from asphalt racers over the years.
The RZ-61S is an Asphalt Track Racing Helmet and performs beautifully in both open cockpit and closed cockpit environments. Whether you're running a formula car, go-kart, GT car, or any asphalt setup that demands top-tier protection and comfort, the Zamp RZ-61S was made with you in mind. It's versatile enough to handle the heat, the noise, and the long days at the track without compromising on safety or communication.
There are several significant upgrades that make the Zamp RZ-61S a standout choice this year. From improved communication integration to a completely redesigned EPS shell, these changes weren't made in a vacuum – they came directly from listening to what drivers actually need. Here's a closer look at the key improvements that set this Racing Helmet apart.
The biggest upgrade Zach emphasized is how communication friendly the RZ-61S has become. You can now install ear cups and speakers with ease, and Zamp offers two different models that work seamlessly inside this helmet. The real game-changer is the pre-molded and pre-fitted EPS depressions – they let the ear cups sit nice and flush so there's zero awkward pressure or bulk during long races. If clear communication is part of your setup, this helmet is ready to go right out of the box.

Another major step forward is the all-new EPS shell. For any driver running forced air or top air, Zach made it clear that this helmet is engineered to keep you comfortable. The EPS features full 360-degree channeling throughout the entire interior, with four prominent channels positioned right in the forehead area. That means excellent airflow exactly where you need it most when the cockpit starts heating up.
The Zamp RZ-61S arrives fully loaded. You get plenty of front vents for natural airflow plus the high-quality Z-20 clear series shield. The shield includes tensioning adjustable tear-off posts, and the 12 1/8 inch banana style tear offs fit this shield perfectly. Everything you need for a clean, professional setup is included – no extra purchases required before your next race weekend.
Safety compatibility matters, and Zamp delivered. The helmet comes equipped with M6 threads fully installed on both the left and right sides. These are the universal thread size, so the RZ-61S works with virtually any head and neck restraint system on the market. No drilling, no adapters – just bolt up your favorite FHR and you're good to go.
Yes. The RZ-61S is fully top air ready. Simply remove the plugs and you'll find pre-drilled, pre-installed threads waiting for your top air accessory. Installation takes just a couple of minutes, and once it's on, you can count on staying cool even during the longest feature races.
The RZ-61S comes in two sharp finishes that look great both on the track and in the pits: matte gray and gloss black.
The Zamp RZ-61S is available now at Fast Racer. Head over to www.fastracer.com and grab yours while supplies last.
