2011 Paul Tracy Signed Race Used Long Beach GP/Indy 500 Practice Arai IndyCar Helmet
Stunning Arai helmet used by Canadian racer Paul Tracy, aka the "Thrill from Westhill". The former 2003 Champ Car Champion wore this helmet during his final season in IndyCar. It was race-worn during the 2011 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, then used again in practice and qualifying sessions for the 95th running of the Indianapolis 500. Tracy can be seen in action at both events wearing this helmet (see pictures). After an open-wheel career that spanned twenty-six years, Tracy decided to retire from IndyCar racing after being one of the drivers involved in the accident that fatally injured Dan Wheldon in the season finale at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Painted by Troy Lee, the helmet has a metallic blue front and crown that are edged in red and finishes in a point at the back. The back and sides have a metallic silver finish and within this there is a metallic gold band, again all edged in red. These both start in a flash on the crown with the gold band widening as it curves down both sides. Tracy’s name is on both sides, and just below is a Rockford Fosgate sponsor decal. The top front has Honda and Motegi logos with the chin and cheeks baring Honda, Troy Lee/Oakley decals respectively. To the center of its back there is a Greg Moore memorial decal. The dark-tinted visor has been personally signed by Paul Tracy and has a Wix Filters/Motegi Racing sun strip and tear-off still attached. The helmet also has its Hats-Off device installed and rear air deflectors, HANS post anchors, and IndyCar tech stickers attached.
This helmet, worn by one of the most popular drivers of the modern era, would be a great centerpiece for any helmet collection.
The helmet comes with a Certificate Of Authenticity.
