Gilles Villeneuve is recognised as one of the Formula One greats, sadly succumbing to injuries at the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix he was never able to demonstrate his full potential, and would likely have become a Formula One World Champion. In 1997 Jacques, Gilles son went on to win his sole world championship.

The GPA SJ inspired Gilles helmet, is a great replica of his Zolder 1982 helmet. The helmet is a fantastic tribue to the late Gilles, and had a complete radio intercom wiring kit installed. The GPA SJ had a unique idea of utilising the neck opening instead of a traditional strap.
