Impact Racing BMW Logo Custom Auto Racing Helmet

This is a full-face professional auto racing helmet manufactured by Impact Racing. The helmet features a custom paint scheme with a vibrant royal blue lower shell and a white top crown adorned with a large BMW roundel logo. The shell is likely constructed from a reinforced composite material such as carbon fiber, Kevlar, or fiberglass, consistent with high-level motorsport safety standards. It includes a clear polycarbonate eye-port shield that is currently in a detached or lowered position, revealing the interior Nomex fire-retardant lining in charcoal gray. A tan-colored Kevlar chin strap with a D-ring closure is visible inside the cheek pads. The 'IMPACT!' brand name is prominently featured on the side padding. Notable features include metal mounting screws for a visor or HANS device posts and a recessed area for ventilation. The condition shows moderate wear with some light surface scuffs and dust, but no major structural cracks are visible in the photograph. Based on the design and branding, this helmet likely dates from the early to mid-2010s. The craftsmanship is high-quality, typical of professional-grade safety equipment required for track racing or competitive automotive events.
