We are happy that we have been able to win the Chinese DTM pilot Cong Fu “Franky” Cheng for the circle of Schuberth race drivers. Cong Fu Cheng, in Europe also known as “Franky” to keep it simple, is a driver in the AMG Mercedes team and relies officially on our carbon helmet RF1 since last race at the Nürburgring. Franky ranks among the most successful motorsports people in China. He could already celebrate many achievements in different international Formula series und was part of the McLaren sponsorship program. In the DTM he is the first Chinese ever who started in the most popular European touring car series.
During a visit in our helmet manufactory Franky could take his new helmet directly out of the hands of our CEO Marcel Lejeune. Afterwards our Head of Production Christof Wobst showed and explained him how a motorcycle helmet is produced. Franky was impressed by how much manual work is needed.
We wish Franky a successful motorsport season 2010 and are happy to have such an excellent ambassador in China.

Lina Van de Mars with Schuberth Q2
The well known host (DMAX “Der Checker”, Sport1 “Die Autoprofis”) and tuning expert Lina van de Mars now belongs to the exclusive group of Schuberth pilots. The mechanic likes to work on cars and is a passionate driver. We are happy to support Lina with our professional race helmet Q2.
For official helmet handover Lina visited our helmet manufactury in Magdeburg. Our colleagues were very happy about her visit and Lina signed autograph cards and posed for photos
By the way: the Q2 won’t stay white too long. Soon the helmet will receive a Lina special design, probably in seventies style and with some twinkle effect. As soon as the helmet is sprayed by Jens, we will publish the pictures.
Non-brushed helmet:
Here you can see Lina with one of our engineers:

Indy 500: Bell trusts in Schuberth
Today we received a kindly mail from our newest U.S. driver Townsend Bell who will start at the world famous Indy 500 with a Schuberth carbon helmet. Townsend is a specialist in oval racing and has lots of experiences as driver in the former Champ Car World Series and Indy Car series. Please read directly from Townsend first impressions about his first test with a Schuberth.
“Sven and Marcel
Today was my first chance to test with the helmet at Indy.
I want to let you know that you have the finest helmet available on the market. A few pleasant surprises:
- The quality of the visor seal and locking system is terrific. At 230 mph this is really important. Every time I lock the visor leaving the pits I feel like I’m shutting the door on a mercedes s class. A very reasuring thud!
- the helmet is much quieter at top speed which makes the drive more enjoyable and noticably improves voice quality with the pits in both directions.
- with the sizing adjustment, it’s also very comfortable. Thanks Sven!!
- tearoffs posts are nicely designed and can accomodate a thick stack while achieving a strong tension
Overall a great first experience. And of course the best part is your strong focus on safety.
Thanks for supporting us.
And please follow qualifying and race over the next several days at IndyCar.com.
Very best regards
Townsend”
This is his new helmet:
The 25th of April the DTM started its season on the Hockenheim circuit. With our newest driver Bruno Spengler and with Ralf Schumacher we have two Schuberth-drivers at the DTM.
Bruno started at 3rd place and finished 2nd with his best season-start so far, and we´d like to wish him all the best for the upcoming Valencia race.
Ralf Schumacher made 9th place. His helmet was also designed by Jens Munser who had a hard time delivering all the helmets needed in each of the race series.
Ralf actually wears two different designs – one with a glossy and one matt finish. Our photo show the glossy one.
We´ll show you all our new helmets in the upcoming days – so be prepared for more Schuberth race helmets with awesome designs.
