Competition
Design your helmet and win a custom Arai SK-6
Design a helmet in the Lucas Racing design studio and you could win a brand-new Arai SK-6 finished in your winning design, complete with a spoiler and clear visor. Every other eligible entrant gets a discount voucher towards their own custom helmet finish.
Entries open Wednesday, 11 November 2026 at 12:00 am and close Friday, 1 January 2027 at 11:59 pm.
How to enter
Step 1
Design your helmet
Build it in our design studio and include at least one hydrographic film. We can see which film you've chosen, so there's no need to tell us.
Step 2
Share it
Share your helmet on your story, and tag two people plus us, @hydro.karts.
Step 3
Enter it
On the Review step, press Enter the competition and paste the link to your story. One entry per person; you can change your design until entries close.
Step 4
Vote
Every eligible design goes on our Facebook page without names. Every entrant gets one vote, not for their own helmet. The most votes wins.
Free to enter and open to anyone with a UK address. No purchase is necessary. Enter and vote under your own name with your own account.

Enter it at checkout when you order your custom helmet and we'll book it in for its finish. The design studio shows the retail price as you build, and it updates as you choose options such as a spoiler, hydrographic film or chrome.

We'll start work on the winning helmet in January 2027. The build takes around eight weeks, with delivery expected in early March 2027. If the winning design includes chrome, allow three extra weeks, with delivery expected in late March 2027.
