Auto-Archives archives have collected a number of race helmets. We would love to have more to be able to tell the full story of how helmets have been developed to protect drivers over the years, so please contact us if you have any you would be happy to donate. Any helmets, old or new, period or modern, used or unused, would be much appreciated. Any connected to a driver would of course be researched, documented and displayed in the archive for anyone to see. Our Helmet collection is sponsored by STAND 21 Safety Equipment to whom a big “Thank You” must go. With their support we hope to grow this fascinating section of the archive.
