Happy Christmas to your all
This is the final update of my 2023 helmet set. The set is so fresh, the paint is still drying and I haven't got any previews for you.
I'm really grateful that timtoffee has helped me finish the set. He created three helmets to go in this set, with a few light edits from me.
 |
| 2023 Sainz US GP helmet |
 |
| 2023 Leclerc US GP helmet |
 |
| 2023 Norris US GP helmet |
For the US GP (at COTA), we have Leclerc's American Football field inspired helmet, Norris' 100th GP helmet with stickers representing each of his 99 GPs, and Carlos Sainz's Texan flag inspired lid.
 |
| 2023 Bottas Mexican GP helmet |
 |
| 2023 Perez Mexican GP helmet |
Two new helmets from the Mexican GP, the first, by timtoffee is the Bottas 'Bottaco' helmet, another colourful and clipart filled design by Tiffany, and Perez's lid, which was submitted by a fan and completed by MDM Designs - a really nice design.
 |
| 2023 Albon Las Vegas GP helmet |
For Las Vegas, we have Albon's helmet which I hand drew and added sketching effects. This helmet took me quite a few days, and a lot of effort to make the seams ... well seamless... and it was my final complete contribution to this season's set and among my favourites for the year.
 |
| 2023 Alonso Las Vegas GP helmet |
Alonso had a busy casino inspired design, another one that looks simple, but has so many different elements that wasn't easy to reproduce.
 |
| 2023 Bottas Las Vegas GP helmet |
Bottas had a rocket/spaceman theme for Vegas, and timtoffee did an excellent job on this helmet with a little input from me.
 |
| 2023 Leclerc Las Vegas GP helmet |
timtoffee and I also colloborated to create Leclerc's helmet, which was designed by Adrien Paviot.
 |
| 2023 Perez Las Vegas GP helmet |
Perez also had a casino inspired helmet for Las Vegas, with a skyline running along the bottom of his helmet, another hand drawn effort from me.
 |
| 2023 Sainz Las Vegas GP helmet |
And finally for this race, Carlos Sainz has a number of classic Vegas style images but personalised with either his name or his race number. Again, each element was faithfully recreated on this one.
 |
| 2023 Leclerc Abu Dhabi GP helmet |
And finally for the Abu Dhabi GP, we have Leclerc's helmet which features the name of most of his colleagues at Ferrari. If you watch his video, you'll see he immediately spots some missing names, which he writes on in pen, a touching tribute to his teammates.
I hope you've enjoyed this helmet set as I've been adding to it over the course of the season. There's 122 helmets in this set and I didn't do it alone.
I couldn't have done it without Jvinu's helmet shapes and templates.
Thanks to Nick who created all the render previews and also converted the base set to rFactor 2 and his support.
Thanks to rracunis for his contribution to the McLaren helmets and Tweaker visors.
Thanks to timtoffee for helping me complete the set with some nice additions.
And thanks for Philippe for the support and motivation to do as many helmets as I have done in the past couple of seasons.
And thanks to you for your helping to keep GP4 alive, and to those who have converted these helmets to be used in other games, it all helps me keep producing these things for you.
Happy holidays and keep racing, GP4 fans.
