Dan Gurney, 1960


TGR Staff

‘Dan worked with Bell Helmets in California where he helped to develop the first full-face helmet. He had seen motorcycle racers wear similar ones at Ascot Raceway in California. Dan wore the first full-face helmet at Indianapolis in 1968 and then also introduced it to Formula I racing at the British and German Grand Prix in 1968.’
