Frequently Asked Questions
Are Pyrotect helmets approved for Motorsport New Zealand?
Yes — Pyrotect helmets with Snell SA2025 certification are accepted for MSNZ-licensed competition. SA2020 helmets are also still accepted at many licence grades — check your specific requirements or ask Aaron.
Are Pyrotect helmets approved in Australia?
Yes — Snell SA2025 certified Pyrotect helmets are accepted for Motorsport Australia-licensed events. Contact us if you need specific homologation confirmation.
What is the difference between the ProRace and the MIDAIR?
The ProRace SFA SA2025 targets the latest Snell certification and is built for circuit, rally, and endurance competition. The MIDAIR has a patented mid-mounted air inlet that delivers superior airflow, less fogging, and cleaner communications — making it the preferred choice for offroad, UTV, and pumper system users.
What is a pumper helmet?
A pumper helmet is a Rally Helmet NZ or offroad helmet designed to connect to a forced-air supply system, delivering fresh filtered air inside the helmet. This eliminates dust ingress, reduces fogging, and keeps the driver cool. The Pyrotect MIDAIR is our recommended pumper-ready helmet.
Can Harris Race Radios wire my Pyrotect helmet?
Yes — we supply pre-wired Pyrotect helmets with Rugged Radios Alpha Audio Helmet Kits as standard, and we can advise on custom wiring for specific intercom and radio systems. Rex and Aaron have been wiring race helmets for Australasian competitors for decades.
Which Pyrotect helmet is best for rally racing?
For rally we typically recommend the ProRace SFA SA2025 for sealed-surface events, or the MIDAIR for gravel and offroad stages where dust and fogging are primary concerns. Contact Aaron for a recommendation specific to your event and co-driver communications setup.
