JAKARTA - The MotoGP roar at the Jerez Circuit Nieto last weekend not only presented fierce competition on the track, but also a beautiful tribute from Nolan Group and former WorldSBK champion Carlos Checa.
The two of them collaborated nicely to produce a special edition helmet dedicated to celebrating the 40th anniversary of the legendary Jerez circuit and a close partnership that has existed for three decades between Nolan and the former rider.
Or in other words, this helmet is a symbol of dual celebration: Jerez's 40 years of scintillating world-class motorcycle racing, and the 30-year solid partnership between Nolan and Carlos Checa.
Reporting from Visordown, Friday, May 2, this special helmet is the basis of Nolan's flagship model in the racing world, the X-804 Ultra Carbon Hospital. The unique design touch was inspired by the iconic "globe" helmet that led Carlos Checa to the WorldSBK title in 2011. A strong visual symbol, reminded fans of Checa's glory and loyalty to the Nolan brand.
The MotoGP fans who were present at Jerez on Saturday, April 26, witnessed the first appearance of this special helmet. Carlos Checa proudly wore it while laping honors in front of thousands of pairs of eyes. This action is not just ceremonial, but a sincere statement from Nolan and Checa for their dedication and long history with the iconic Jerez circuit.
Meanwhile, after the round of honor, this warning helmet will be immortalized at the Jerez Circuit Museum.
