Description
The Simpson Carbon Speedway Shark SA2020 Racing Helmet is the premium flagship of the Shark Series, utilizing a high-tensile Carbon Fiber shell to provide the ultimate combination of strength and weight reduction. This Size 7 1/2 model is engineered for the professional racer who demands the highest level of performance. By combining advanced Italian molding technology with authentic carbon fiber construction, Simpson has produced a helmet that significantly reduces neck strain while offering elite-level impact management.
The Carbon Speedway Shark is defined by its signature "Wave Eliminators," which are precision-sculpted into the shell to optimize aerodynamics. These contours stabilize airflow and reduce lift at high velocities, making this helmet a favorite for open-cockpit racing and high-speed road courses. Certified to the Snell SA2020 standard, this helmet meets the most current and rigorous safety protocols, ensuring you are protected by the latest advancements in motorsports technology.

Fitment & Maintenance Information
A precise, secure fit is vital for maximum protection and driver focus. This Size 7 1/2 model is built to remain stable during high-G maneuvers and long stints behind the wheel. In accordance with Snell Foundation guidelines, it is recommended to replace your racing helmet every five (5) years from the date of manufacture. Over time, internal protective liners and fire-retardant materials can lose their effectiveness.
To maintain the shell’s integrity and the carbon fiber finish, clean the helmet using only a soft microfiber cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, waxes, or solvents, as these can compromise the impact-absorbing EPS liner or the structural resin of the carbon shell. Always store your helmet in a cool, dry place inside a protective bag between events to ensure it remains in peak condition.
