A white Bell brand XFM-1 model racing helmet owned by David Hasselhoff and signed by various drivers who competed on the Indy Car circuit/CART Championship Car Series in the 1980s, with the majority of drivers having raced at least once in the Indianapolis 500. Due to the signatures of drivers Arie Luyendyk and Howdy Holmes appearing on the helmet, it is assumed that this helmet was signed during either the 1985 or 1988 seasons, as those were the only years Luyendyk and Holmes were on the Indy Car circuit at the same time. The helmet features 34 total signatures, including Mario Andretti, Michael Andretti, Al Unser, Al Unser Jr., A.J. Foyt, Bobby Rahal, Emerson Fittipaldi, Rick Mears, Danny Sullivan, Scott Brayton, Roberto Guerrero, Pancho Carter, Dick Simon, Danny Ongais, Josele Garza, Bill Whittington, Chip Gnassi, George Snider, Tony Bettenhausen Jr., Johnny Rutherford, Derek Daly, Kevin Cogan and Teo Fabi. All signatures are in black marker. 11 1/4 by 10 by 9 inches PROVENANCE From the Collection of David Hasselhoff Categories: David Hasselhoff
