This rare Arai GP5-RC helmet from the championship winning 2005 season clearly shows extensive signs of dirt and use. The helmet has a large chip to the left hand side clearly showing the carbon fibre material of this rare early model. The helmet has been signed by Fernando on the right hand side. The helmet is fitted with tobacco branding Mild Seven over the clear coat as this could then easily be changed to Team Spirit non tobacco branding as and when required.
