Helmet
Helmet designed in partnership with Pierre Gasly of the Renault Alpine F1 Team. Gasly wore the helmet at the Qatar Grand Prix 2023.
The design seamlessly incorporates the Egal, the traditional black fabric cord that Qatari men use to secure the ghitra (headdress), blending cultural significance with the world of motorsport.
Egal
Inspired by the verse of the great poet Al-Farazdaq, “A noble Egal crowns my grandfather’s grace, A beacon of honor to proudly embrace’’, who celebrated his descent from a great ancestor, the badge displays the picture of the egal. Al-Farazdaq celebrated his heritage through poetry, likening it to the egal worn by men atop their heads. Similarly, Shouq Al-Mana’s design honours the deep cultural bonds that intricately link the GCC member states.

نفاخر نحن بإنتسابنا لمجلس التعاون كما كان يفاخر الفرزدق بنسبه في هذا البيت بجده ، واصفاً اياه بالعقال الذي يرتديه الرجال فوق رؤسهم .
