Footnotes
The following identification and insight has kindly been provided by Mike Fairholme of Mike Fairholme Designs, who painted Carl Fogarty's helmets:
"The six slots on the chin bar suggest the design lineage of Arai's Super Vent or Racing Vent helmets, but the presence of 'Rapide' on the rear identifies this as a distinct model—likely sourced from outside the UK, as the Rapide wasn't officially sold here. The Snell certification (rather than a British Standard label) supports this.
The Rapide shared characteristics with the Racing Vent, including the brow and top vents, and some versions featured these rubber intake elements as standard. While Arai Racing Service often modified helmets for favoured riders, this helmet's date of manufacture—May 1988—places it just before the introduction of the Giga model later that season. It's very possible this helmet was used by Carl in early 1988 while waiting for the new Giga helmets to arrive, or was a recently retired example passed to Dale Winfield."
All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
