Buying a helmet in Dubai

To those who who have attended DE's at the Dubai Autodrome, where did you get your helmets from? I am going to the 14th December DE and need to get hold of a helmet. Thanks.

I use my old bike helmet but could do with a new race helmet - not just for this but for karting as well.

If I find anything good - I'll let you know.

You can try Gulf motorsports, they have a good range of snell/FIA approved full face and open face helmets.

cheers

Thanks, I tried to go to Gulf Motorsports but got stuck in traffic so I gave up, turned around and came back home. Dubai traffic is becoming a real PITA. I'll try again on Saturday. Thnaks for the advice.

I know what you mean - there's many a time when I want to go somewhere and abort the journey and go somewhere else because of the traffic. Usually a bar (after dropping the car off first of course...)
