Formula racing is simply exhilarating; whether you're competing at the F1 level through to F4, it’s a form of motorsport that requires you to be mentally sharp and have lightning-fast response times.
Therefore, professional formula drivers are always looking for that competitive edge. This is why it's important to purchase safety equipment that’s comfortable and as lightweight as possible- this is where Stilo’s impressive ST6 range of formula racing helmets can help formula drivers.
When you're pulling huge lateral forces and driving right on the limit of what is possible in your F1 car, you're going to need a super lightweight helmet. You need an ultra-lightweight, aero-dynamic carbon-fibre racing helmet- this is where we can help.
In F1 racing, the car manufacturers are fanatical about making the cars as light as possible, which obviously helps with acceleration and handling. However, when it comes to F1 helmet design, every surplus gram of weight should be shaved off as well to produce a lighter helmet.
This is a balancing act; you want the carbon fibre helmet or composite F1 helmet to be as lightweight as possible, yet without compromising the level of crash protection the F1 helmet offers.
This is why many formula drivers, whether you're competing in F1 through to Formula Ford, choose Stilo. These helmets are engineered to perfection, hand-made by experts in Italy.
The result is a lightweight, supremely comfortable racing helmet. There are top ventilation holes built into the ST6 range to give, say, the F1 driver more fresh air, increased ventilation, and a cooler head whilst they are competing or practising, say, at the Silverstone racetrack.
Then there’s the field of vision that the F1 helmet provides; this was excellecent in Stilo’s ST5 range of helmets. However, in the ST6 range of F1 and formula helmets from Stilo has improved the field of vision even more. The downward field of view in the ST6 range of formula helmets has therefore been improved, so whether you're competing in Formula Ford or the F1 Grand Prix, this is crucial.
Then there's the helmet's padding. If you're out practising in your F1 car, you're going to want a helmet that’s supremely comfortable to wear. This is why all of Stilo’s ST6 helmets are jam-packed with premium padding. Therefore, the F1 helmet will fit comfortably, which is important because in formula racing, the helmet is subjected to significant aerodynamic drag.
