Safety effect of helmet

racing Helmet ：

It mainly refers to the helmet used for automobile racing. For example, F1 drivers' helmets are made of carbon, Kevlar fiber and polyethylene. Helmets used in F1 competitions must of course pass the FIA's "Impact and Fire Performance Test".

Different from other racing helmets, when racing at a speed of 330km/h on the track, the turbulence of air flowing through the helmets will not only impose a great burden on the neck of the driver (the helmets drift upward), but also reduce the effect of engine air intake.

So the helmets used by F1 drivers have also been designed by aerodynamic engineers (you can see that there are many spoiler devices on the surface), and even become part of the R&D plan of new racing cars.

The helmet is equipped with a radio supply device (convenient for drivers to contact with team managers and technicians), and a drinking pipe for drivers to replenish water during the race. Fans who are not familiar with racing may not know how much the physical load of F1 drivers is.

This is not just an easy job to do by turning the steering wheel. During the whole race, the driver's heart beats more than 200 times per minute. After the race, the driver will lose 3 to 4 kg (water loss).

Therefore, the first thing for drivers after the race is to add water. Imagine that in a hot afternoon, you have to wear airtight fireproof racing clothes under the huge amount of exercise, and it is not easy to earn millions of pounds of annual salary every year!

In order to reduce the temperature in the helmet during the competition, the ventilation pipe in the helmet has also been carefully designed to take it away Helmet The function of internal heat is better.
