GP4: Tsunoda's 2022 Emilia Romagna GP helmet

As far as I can tell, there was only one new helmet at the Made in Italy, Emilia Romagna GP of 2022 and it's that of Yuki Tsunoda.

This is a home race of sorts for the Alpha Tauri outfit, so gone is the orange and in are the colours of the Italian flag. This helmet is designed by Adrien Paviot, with both Alpha Tauri drivers wearing Arai helmets. I personally prefer this style of livery to his regular helmet graffiti.

GP4: Bottas' Australian GP helmet download

I wasn't expecting to do another update so soon, but like many bus services, you wait ages for one and two come along at once, so we have two Bottas helmet's released in one week. 

Valterri Bottas 2022 Australian GP helmet

Bottas has had his Australian girlfriend design a number of his helmets in the past year, and this one is inspired by the lovely beaches of Australia. A number of the illustrations I was able to find from stock photos, so most of my time was spent in finding the source images. It was quite a fun helmet to put together, with the sky blue really distinguishable from the Alfa Romeo cockpit.

GP4: 2022 Helmets complete, v1.0 Released

Here's the final helmet of the 2022 pack:

Alfa Romeo

Valterri Bottas

Throughout 2021, Bottas helmet's were the ones that took me the most time, and that trend continues into 2022. Although the livery itself is pretty basic, getting the swirls and highlights acting right took quite a bit longer. 

The set is complete, with all 21 drivers that have competed so far, plus a couple of special liveries thrown in. 

Thanks again to Jvinu for the helmet shapes and the templates. This means these can be converted games with ACSPRH helmets available.

GP4: 2022 Helmets - Zhou's helmet added

Just one new helmet in this update:

Alfa Romeo

Guanyu Zhou

Guanyu Zhou 2022 helmet
Zhou has had a variety of designs and special helmets coming through the junior categories, much of it taking inspiration from his Chinese heritage. I guess this helmet is a bit of a culmination of all of those concepts thrown into this one, with the skyline and the China pottery style designs. It took a little while to line everything up on the winged part of the helmet, but I'm pretty pleased with how it's all come together. 

Also in this update are small changes to Alonso's helmet, the arrows on the top of his helmet are now sky blue; and there was a slight mismatch of colours on the wing, so that's all been fixed in this update. 

There's only one helmet to go, Valterri Bottas. I've made a start, but it's a fair way away from being complete. We'll see if any new designs pop up in Australia next week, I hear that Vettel will have a helmet with green on it along with the German flag design. I hope you enjoy them. Thanks as always to Jvinu for his helmet shapes and templates, couldn't do this without them.
