FIA extends Racing Force safety partnership into fifteenth season

Under the renewed agreement, FIA officials, safety car drivers and medical car crews will continue to use OMP fire retardant racewear and Bell Racing helmets at its events worldwide.

The original supply agreement between the FIA and OMP was signed in 2012. The collaboration expanded in 2019 when Bell Racing joined Racing Force Group, bringing both brands under the same umbrella.

The FIA homologated OMP suits, gloves, shoes and underwear are developed at the Group’s headquarters in Ronco Scrivia, Italy. Bell Racing helmets are engineered and manufactured at a dedicated facility in Sakhir, Bahrain.

The equipment is used across all levels of motor sport, from world championship categories to grassroots competition, forming part of the FIA’s broader safety framework.

Nuno Costa: “Safety and technological progress are at the heart of the FIA’s work. The renewal of our long standing partnership with Racing Force Group brands OMP and Bell Racing represents our continued commitment to ensure the safety of FIA officials, safety and medical car drivers and staff across the FIA’s championships.”

Paolo Delprato added: “We are extremely proud to renew our partnership with the FIA, a further confirmation of our unwavering commitment to motorsport safety, that is the founding mission of our Group and our historic brands, OMP and Bell Racing Helmets. With 2026, we enter our fifteenth season as Official Suppliers to the sport’s governing body, driven by the same passion and pursuit for excellence.”

The extension secures continuity in safety equipment provision as the FIA prepares for the 2026 season across its global championships.
