"It is excellent for the Carrera Cup GB Scholarship to have a tie-up with one of the leading helmet manufacturers," said Marion Barnaby of the Carrera Cup GB. "This is another of the ways in which we are helping the Scholarship winners with their racing programme."

The two drivers had a helmet fitting during the recent Autosport International and will shortly receive their new Arai helmets ahead of the start of their 2010 testing programmes

Each Arai helmet is made to exacting standards and is the result of up to 18 hours of work by skilled craftsmen. Arai helmets meet and exceed the standards laid by the various international governing bodies for two and four-wheeled motor sport.
