Who it suits
- Closed cockpit circuit and endurance racing
- The same helmet with radio and drink system fitted: GT6 RD Carbon, product code BEL-GT6-CARB-RD24
- Helmets made for karting, approved to FIA 8878-2024 or Snell-FIA CMR2016, are in the karting helmets collection
The approval in the rules
- Where an FHR is mandatory (circuit, hill climb and rally special stages on the FIA calendar), the 2026 Appendix L accepts FIA 8859-2015, 8859-2024, 8860-2010 and 8860-2018 helmets (Chapter III, Art. 1.1)
- FIA 8859-2024 helmets are listed in FIA Technical List no. 107
- Snell SA is not in FIA Technical List no. 25, so in FIA events the FIA label is what counts. In CIK-FIA karting, over 15, SA2020 is accepted and SA2025 only on helmets that also carry the FIA 8859-2024 label
- In the FIA lists, the homologation end date is the last date the model may be manufactured; the helmet stays valid as long as its homologation label says
- Appendix L caps the helmet at 1900 g for full face and 1700 g for open face, accessories included, and a camera or a visor not approved by the FIA voids the approval (Art. 1.4 and 1.5)
Choosing the size
- Head circumference is measured with a tape about 2.5 cm above the eyebrows at the front, and at the point at the back that gives the largest reading
- Take several measurements and keep the largest; if you wear a balaclava, measure with it on
- On the head, the helmet should sit low on the brow with uniform, firm pressure all around and no pressure points (Bell's fitting rule)
