Racing helmets are essential for any form of motorsport and need to be homologated to FIA standards.

All forms of motorsport require a helmet to be worn. These helmets need to conform to the safety standards of the FIA.
Depending on the event and level of competition you compete at, you may need a different helmet standard or homologation.
Most national-level motorsport events on-track and in rallying will require a helmet homologated to the FIA-8859 standard.
Drivers competing at international standard events are required to use the higher FIA-8860 standard homologation. 8860 has higher tolerances than 8859.
For formula one use, the FIA-8860-18ABP (Advanced Ballistic Protection) is available. This standard replaces the requirement for a Zylon strip that has previously bridged the gap between the top of the helmet visor and the helmet.
Please check your race regulations or with MSUK or your governing body to find out what standard your helmet needs to be.
