Shooting the SR1-Movie at the IDM

Last weekend at the last IDM-Race we attended Stefan Nebel and the KTM-Team to shoot some real Superbike-Racing-footage.

This weekend we vistited Filip Backlund at the IDM Race in Salzburg, Red Bull Ring. Filip is a very promising young driver from Sweden where he won the Swedish Superbike 2009 and now entered the IDM for several races. He did visit us earlier this year in Germany and had his helmet customized for him.

In March we presented for the first time our new car racing helmet SF1 to the participants of the Brasilian Porsche GT3 Cup, which took place in Estoril / Portugal. Nice people, good atmosphere and great cars!

Have a look at the beautiful painted car of Benny Lago, who is a Schuberth enthusiast and takes part in the Brasilian Porsche GT3 challenge. Benny is one of the first passionate drivers wearing a Schuberth SF1 – and he was thrilled by the wearing comfort and the design of the helmet !

We were present at the Estoril racing track on Friday before the Race and many drivers took the opportunity to discover the SF1, to try the helmet and to have a chat. They were excited to hear that Schuberth sells the helmet and for sure we will see one or the other wearing the SF1 during the next races.
If you are interested in your own SF1 contact us at carracing@schuberth.com !

During the upcoming weeks without Formula 1, nevertheless, we still want to share our love for racing with all of  you. Therefore we had a look into our foto-archives and found some special pictures where we can tell you a short story about. All of these little and exciting moments of the year, we want to show you in our Schuberth Racing review of the previous year. Today we start with the first part of it – the GP of Japan in Suzuka:

Heavy rain in Japan was the reason for some confusion on Saturday morning and therefore the Qualifying was started on Sunday.

If it rains as strong as in Japan, a Formula-one helmet must be cleaned and dried again, up to the smallest opening for perfect comfort and the perfect look.

In Japan this was very important on Michael Schumacher’s helmet. His helmet appeared in a slightly changed design in Japan. On each side, new sponsors logos were gleaming on the helmet of the 7-times world champion. A reason for us to show to you a few nice pictures from Japan:

Because the decision occurred relatively at short notice to Japan GP, the logos could not become fully painted for the Race in the Far East.

Hence, we had to stick the logos on all 3 helmets of Michael on the sides. The result is worth a notice. We hope you like it, too. But it was a lot of work, always to stick new logos on it and remove them after each session for cleaning the gear. But this is what makes the Schuberth Racing Service so special.  To give the products the special look. The logos became then fully painted for the last three races on all helmets.

Your Schuberth Racing team
