The FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile), the international governing body for motorsport.

What it means:
FIA 8860-2018 is the FIA's current Advanced Helmet standard for higher levels of auto racing. Despite “2018” in its name, it remains a current FIA homologation.

Typically required for:
Professional and high-level auto racing where FIA 8860-2018 helmets are specified. Some championships accept either 8860-2018 or the ABP version, while others may specifically require ABP.

Not intended for: Motorcycle use.

Always check your event or sanctioning body's current helmet requirements.

  • The Bell HP7 EVO-IV Advanced Carbon Racing Helmet with Duckbill Spoiler is a premium choice for professional drivers in open-cockpit cars and closed Sports cars and GT cars, developed in collaboration with Formula One teams to deliver lightweight strength, superior vision, and unmatched comfort in high-stakes motorsports.

  • Featuring an aerospace composite carbon fiber shell with a sleek matte finish, this helmet offers advanced energy-absorbing lining systems with a lightweight and aerodynamically efficient shell, while exceeding the FIA8860-2018 "Advanced Helmet" safety standards, making it ideal for drivers pushing limits on the track.

  • Key features include:

    • Aerospace-Grade Carbon Fiber Shell: This ultra-lightweight shell provides exceptional durability and impact resistance, weighing less than previous models for reduced fatigue during intense races.

    • Duckbill Spoiler Design: The integrated chin spoiler reduces lift and buffering, improving stability and aerodynamics, particularly in open cockpit and formula cars.

    • SmartLock Visor System: This innovative lock secures the visor firmly during impacts while allowing quick, one-handed adjustments for effortless operation on the move.

    • Superior Ventilation System: With 12 strategically placed air intakes and extraction channels, it delivers optimal airflow to keep you cool and focused, minimizing sweat and fog buildup. The ventilation system includes two-part center and a low profile on sides (installed) optimized to improve aerodynamic performance, reduce internal noise and enhance energy management capacities.

    • Ergonomic Multi-Density Liner: Layers of foam and padding mold to your head shape for a personalized, comfortable fit that enhances energy absorption in crashes.

    • Customizable Integration: Built-in pathways make it simple to add drink tubes or communication systems, supporting pro-level setups without hassle. Also compatible with a range of Bell visors, sunscreen, and air intakes (sold separately).

    • Factory-Installed FHR/HANS Anchors: These pre-fitted anchors ensure seamless compatibility with head and neck restraint devices, boosting safety in high-G environments.

    • SE07 3mm DSAF Shield: Equipped with an optical-grade double screen anti-fog visor, it ensures superior visibility and fog resistance in diverse racing conditions. Multiple tinted visor options available (sold separately).

    • Synthetic Rubber Gasket Seal: This durable seal prevents dirt, water, and debris from entering, maintaining helmet integrity and clear visibility in harsh environments.

  • Certification: meets the latest FIA 8860-2018 standard, known as the "advanced" FIA standard. It offers higher protection levels than the baseline FIA 8859-2024 — especially against rotational forces, visor penetration from debris, and overall energy management — which is crucial for open-cockpit racing where flying objects pose greater risks, ensuring compliance in elite FIA events and giving drivers confidence in extreme conditions.

  • Manufacturing Part Number: 1101081 (Size 54) to 1101092 (Size 61+).

Q&A

31 answered questions

  • What is the snell helmet expiration date?

    admin

    • As a general rule, Snell SA helmets are valid for 10 years from their certification date. For example, a Snell SA2025 helmet is good until December 31, 2035. When a new certification comes out, such as SA2030, those helmets are valid until December 31, 2040. Most racing organizations like SCCA, NASA, and NHRA follow this guideline. However, we always recommend checking your specific rulebook, as requirements may vary between different organizations or events.

  • How many years is a Bell helmet good for?

    Guest


    • Bell helmets do not technically have an expiration date; however, a statement from the Snell certification webpage recommends replacing any racing driver's helmets after five years of normal use. See Snell Foundation statement in the linked blog post "Snell SA2020 Helmet Expiration Dates Explained"

      admin

  • Are bell helmets snell approved?

    Guest

    • Certainly. Here is a comprehensive summary of potential certifications for Bell Helmets, tailored to their specific motorsport disciplines:
      • Bell racing helmets are certified to Snell SA2020, Snell SA2025, FIA 8859-2015, FIA 8859-2024, FIA 8860-2018, or more recent versions of those standards.
      • Bell kart helmets are certified to Snell K2020, Snell K2025 and/or FIA 8878-2024.

      Always check the product description to ensure the helmet meets the specific certification requirements for your motorsport needs.

  • How long will my SA2020 helmet be good for?

    admin

    • Most racing organizations, such as SCCA, NASA, and NHRA, accept Snell SA helmets for 10 years from the homologation date, not the purchase or manufacture date. This means an SA2020 helmet is generally valid through December 31, 2030. However, certain series, like NHRA, may allow use for slightly longer or shorter periods depending on their rules. Always consult your current rulebook, as some organizations may require newer standards sooner than others.

      admin

  • Can you use a motorcycle helmet for car racing?

    admin

    • No. A motorcycle helmet should not be used as a car racing helmet because it does not meet the necessary fireproofing and impact resistance requirements, such as Snell SA2025 or FIA 8859-2024 standards, nor does it provide for head and neck restraint systems. Car racing helmets are specifically engineered for the unique hazards of motorsports, including fire resistance and impact protection in confined spaces. Additionally, drivers should select helmets tailored to their specific application; for instance, a Dirt Track helmet differs in construction and ventilation from an open wheel asphalt racing helmet. Proper selection ensures optimal safety and performance on the track.

  • Where are Bell helmets built?

    Guest

    • Staff Answer
      Bell racing helmets are designed by R&D and laboratory testing teams from Italy, Belgium, and Bahrain. All racing helmet and karting helmet lines are produced using advanced manufacturing processes that meet Bell's strict quality and safety standards in the manufacturing plant in Bahrain, nearby the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) which hosts Formula 1 races. Every Bell racing helmet is built to comply with the certification required for its intended use, whether it's Snell SA2025, FIA 8859-2024, or FIA 8860. FAST RACER carries genuine Bell helmets sourced through authorized distribution channels, giving racers confidence in the authenticity and quality of every helmet they purchase.

  • What are some examples of helmets in the Pro Series?

    admin

    • Examples include Bell RS7, Bell GTX3, Bell GT6 RD, Bell GT6 Pro, and Bell K1 Pro. These helmets are designed to provide a balance between performance and comfort for a variety of racing conditions.

      admin

  • Which helmets are ready to attach head and neck safety devices?

    Guest

    • First, you should look for helmets certified to Snell SA2020, Snell SA2025, and/or FIA8859-2024 standards, as these offer the latest in motorsport safety. Helmets with both SA2025 and FIA8859 certifications typically feature factory-installed Frontal Head Restraint (FHR) anchors, ensuring compatibility with HANS or other head and neck restraint systems. If FHR anchors are not factory-installed, the helmet will include built-in M6 inserts, allowing you to easily install the necessary FHR anchors for safe use. Follow the link for the full lineup of Snell SA2025 helmets.

  • What does dual certification mean for Bell helmets?

    admin

    • Dual certification means that most Bell helmets are labeled as both Snell and FIA certified, ensuring compliance with U.S. (e.g., Snell SA2020, Snell SA2025) and international motorsport regulations (e.g., FIA 8859-2015, FIA 8859-2024, FIA 8860). This allows racers to participate in a wide range of competitions without needing multiple helmets, providing versatility and convenience.
