Bell circuit racing helmets — NZ and Australia
Compare Bell race-car helmets for your head shape, secure fit, car layout and communications needs. Certification, visor hardware, FHR anchors and fitted audio vary by exact model and generation.
Compare circuit configurations
- RS7 options: compare the composite RS7 Pro with the RS7 Ultra Carbon. The Ultra listing offers with- and without-duckbill configurations; choose for your cockpit airflow, fit and exact helmet labels rather than assuming every RS7 shares one specification.
- GT6 options: the GT6 Pro is a composite closed-cockpit choice with a broad visor aperture; compare the GT6 Ultra Carbon for carbon construction or the GT6 RD Ultra Carbon for its integrated communications configuration. Check the fitted microphone, connector and earpiece arrangement against your radio system.
- HP7 and HP77: the HP7 Evo IV Carbon is listed to FIA 8860-2018; the HP77 Evo IV Carbon is specified to FIA 8860-2018 ABP. Choose against your category's exact requirement, not the family name alone. For a closed-cockpit communications-equipped alternative, compare the HP6 Evo-II RD Carbon on its own specification.
- GP3 choices: compare the composite GP3 Sport with the GP3 Carbon for shell construction, fit and budget. Confirm each helmet's physical labels rather than transferring a newer model's certification.
- M8: the M8 composite helmet offers a broad eyeport, traditional styling and an optional Harris communications configuration. It is worth comparing for visibility and fit, including with your usual glasses; confirm the selected audio option.
Complete the circuit setup
Match the helmet to your FHR device, radio or officials’ receiver and model-specific cooling and visor parts. Where required, NZ one-way race-control audio and Australia’s Race Management Channel (RMC) need their own correctly matched receiver and helmet-audio path.

Frequently asked questions
- What certification do I need for circuit racing?
- Match the physical helmet labels, configuration, condition and fit to the current governing-body, category and event requirements. Confirm acceptance with the organiser; a homologation or model name alone is not a blanket guarantee.
- Do all Bell circuit helmets include HANS posts?
- No universal inclusion is promised. Check the exact option, installed anchors, compatible tethers and device instructions before ordering.
- Can every Bell helmet take the same forced-air kit?
- No. Match the exact shell generation, intake location, hole pattern, nozzle diameter and hose connector. Choose the part by reference, not helmet family name alone.
