Narain Karthikeyan was the first Indian driver to compete in Formula One. Having raced for Jordan, Hispania and HRT his best race result came at the 2005 United States Grand Prix - where only six cars competed in the race due to issues with Michelin tyres.

This Bell HP3 helmet painted by Bell Helmets was used by Narain during the weekend of Japan 2012. The helmet has been signed and dedicated by Narain 'Japan 2012' on the back and on the visor. The helmet is numbered 2012/01 on the rear, and shows good signs of use.
