GP4: 2025 RHP Helmets by fongu, Theofilos, Excalibur and Nick9320

2025 F1 Helmets Mod for Grand Prix 4

Overview

Apologies for the delay in releasing this, but this is the 2025 helmet set. 

With Jvinu's shapes becoming increasingly out-dated, I was glad to see that new helmet shapes were being developed. ASCPRH had now progressed to version 2, and whilst I had permission and agreement to work with Marco_17, I was unable to contact Daimon for his permission of his helmet shapes. So I was glad to see that Theofilos, some of whose helmets I had converted to GP4 before, had started working on new helmet shapes. 

The project is called 'The Real Helmet Project' (RHP):

As previously explained, the converted helmets of the Arai GP7 and the Bell HP77 are from the pre-VRC release of the Real Helmets Project (RHP) by Theofilos

Nick9320 and I reached out and struck up a working relationship at the time and whilst this project has taken time, I am glad for the helmet upgrade and I think it has been worth the wait. For the time being, we wait for the Schuberth and the Stilo helmets to be made, I continue to work on Jvinu's helmets for the time being. 

There are two visor strip versions on the Bell helmet, as well as two wing options. The colour of the driver internal fabric is also specific to each driver now. My thanks goes to Excalibur for helping with the conversion. The hans device remains Jvinu's version, simply because it fits GP4  driver bodies better. 

Theofilos is a very talented 3D and 2D artist, and he has painted both Mercedes helmets and the Ferrari helmets, they look stunning.

GP4: 2026 Helmets by fongu & Theofilos

2026 F1 Helmets Mod for Grand Prix 4

4K • Full Grid • Accurate Driver Helmets

Overview

The 2026 helmet pack is now available.

Every helmet has been recreated from scratch in 4K resolution, bringing the current F1 grid into GP4 with improved clarity, sharper detail, and more accurate representation of real-world designs.

Credits

This release couldn’t happen without the brilliant work by others in the community, with helmet shapes and templates by Jvinu (ACSPRH v1) and Theofilos (RHP).

All helmets have been designed from the ground up, with a focus on accuracy and high-resolution detail.

  • Bell helmet – is from Theofilos’ Real Helmet Project (pre-VRC versions)
  • Ferrari helmets – are painted by Theofilos, adapted by fongu
  • Schuberth & Stilo – templates by Jvinu (ACSPRH v1)

Driver-Specific Features

This pack reflects the current F1 grid as closely as possible, with each helmet matched to its correct shape and visual identity.

Helmets are not interchangeable — each design is built specifically for its intended model.

Verstappen

Number 3 added to the transparent wing.

Charles Leclerc

HP logo added to the transparent wing (Ferrari helmet).

Lewis Hamilton

HP logo added to the transparent wing (Ferrari helmet).

Valtteri Bottas

Finnish flag added to tear-off strip handles.

Final Notes

I hope you enjoy this new helmet set and its improvements. Each year, I try to add a new level of realism and accuracy. This season it is the 4K textures and some new specific shapes for drivers.

Thanks for the support, and enjoy.

GP4: 2026 F1 release: Haas and McLaren


Today I’m excited to share the latest additions to the 2026 grid: the McLaren MCL40 and the Haas VF-26.

As mentioned previously, this year’s cars have been split between myself, Excalibur, and Isaint—so this release marks my final contribution to the 2026 lineup. Huge thanks to Excalibur for the outstanding work on the new wheels and rims; they really elevate the overall look of the cars. You may also spot an early preview of the 2026 helmets, with a full release to follow once they’re complete.

McLaren MCL40

The McLaren team continue to use the benchmark Mercedes power unit and having not had an ideal start to the season, nevertheless showed a competitive outing at the recent Japanese Grand Prix.

It was a refreshing change to work on something closer to the sharp end of the grid—my earlier allocations seemed firmly rooted at the back!



Haas VF-26

The Toyota backed Haas team have fared well in the midfield, with some reasonably strong showings so far. Nothing spectacular, just good solid progress with capable drivers behind the wheel. 

After many years of quite bland and dull liveries, the Gazoo Racing effect has produced once of the better looking liveries on the grid. 



As with my previous release, you will find the internal cockpit shape for each car, along with the collision mesh file.

In the background, work has begun in compiling a mod, and when all the cars, helmets and a good set of physics are shared, I will release a CSM and a non-CSM version of the mod. Until then, I hope you enjoy these new additions to the 2026 grid.

Happy racing!
