Question What is this helmet?

Hello everyone,

What year is this helmet from? It seems to be signed by Bobby Rahal. I don’t know if it’s legit.

Googled Flexjet. They are, in summary, a private jet service. I would assume that the Rahal team used them to fly to different races or something. They are also based in Ohio and until recently, that's where Rahal had their headquarters.

Guessing an off-the-shelf helmet used as a giveaway/gift for that sponsor. Maybe some sort of event away from an Indycar weekend.

The closest thing I found to that helmet was the 1980’s indi fan racing helmet
