Sparco products have been keeping racers safe for 25 years. Sparco engineers have now developed a helmet that continues that long-standing tradition of excellence. After studying the needs of the racer and through extensive scientific research and testing, the new WTT line of helmets was created. In order to define a standard combining aerodynamic efficiency with the highest level of safety, we turned to the Fiat Research Center in Torino, Italy, one of the most advanced automotive research centers in the world. Their many years of aerodynamic testing experience include automotive components, racing cars, trains and much more. The two main objectives of the research were:
The Fiat Research Center has developed extremely sophisticated code for simulating airflow. The advanced aerodynamic properties of these new helmets are the result of exhaustive testing performed at Fiat's Wind Tunnel Facility, hence the name WTT (wind tunnel tested). Literally hundreds of hours of testing have yielded a design that is virtually invisible to the wind. After determining the optimum design of the shell, we then moved to our new state of the art composite facility for the construction of the helmets. The shell is constructed of 100% fiberglass which was found to yield the best combination of strength and weight. A sophisticated vacuum form resin strengthening process in conjunction with a proprietary Robotic Resin Thickness Control ensures maximum material integrity with a zero tolerance value between shells. Each shell is then electronically measured to verify its accuracy. |
The SN2000 performed extremely well in aerodynamic tests along side our WTT line of helmets. | |
