What is on this page
The Bell GP3 Sport
The GP3 Sport sits at the heart of Bell’s circuit helmet range. It is approved to FIA 8859-2015 and Snell SA2015 and built around a carbon-glass composite shell, which is lighter than plain fibreglass without the price of a full carbon helmet.
The visor is Bell’s DSAF double screen anti-fog type, with an inner lens bonded to the outer so it resists fogging without any chemical coating. Ventilation runs through chin bar vents and adjustable top vents, there is a duckbill spoiler at the chin, and HANS posts come fitted as standard.
The new matt black finish. Until now the GP3 Sport on our shelf has always been white. The matt black version is a real alternative for drivers who want a darker look or plan to have the helmet painted over a black base.
One practical point with a matt finish: it needs gentler cleaning than gloss. Bell's own label on the visor warns that solvents and alcohol can damage it, so use a microfibre cloth with helmet cleaner or distilled water, as the label says.
The Bell GT5 Sport
The GT5 Sport is Bell’s value helmet for drivers coming into the sport. It is also approved to FIA 8859-2015 and Snell SA2015, with a fibreglass composite shell and a multi-density, multi-piece liner.
What makes it versatile is the wide eye port. You can run it as a full face helmet with a standard visor, or take the visor off and fit the optional peak so it feels more like an open face helmet while keeping the chin bar. That suits drivers who race in closed cars and open-cockpit machinery.

About Bell
Bell has been making racing helmets since 1954, when Roy Richter produced the first Bell 500. In 1966 it launched the Star, developed with Dan Gurney and the first full face helmet, and Bell helmets have been part of top-level motorsport ever since.
For most of our customers, though, the history matters less than the fit. Garreth’s advice is to measure around your head just above the eyebrows and then try the helmet on, because two helmets in the same size can feel very different. Our helmet sizing guide shows how to measure.
