Vents and other aerodynamic fins etc. on driver helmet

Recommended Posts

Dear developers,

is there any chance that the driver's "custom" helmet will have vents and all the other aerodynamic fins just like the ones of the actual drivers? Maybe we can choose to have a Schuberth, Bell or Arai helmet (they all have different aerodynamical designs).
Don't get me wrong: I really appreciate the possibility to have my own helmet design again, but compared to the actual driver helmets with their sponsors and also the cool looking vents and aerodynamic systems on them the custom helmet looks kind of sad....

This is too much lol. 

I'd rather see my name and nationality on my suit and car,  it was a bummer to see that missing. :neutral:

I just wish we could have the sponsors on our custom helmets, they do look quite dull without them. But I also understand that it's probably down to licensing.

I don't understand why we can't have the team's sponsors bleed onto the helmet as well, considering most of the sponsors are on the cars, it surely wouldn't be that hard to ask for the sponsors on helmets. A good way of implementing this would be to make the player choose their team first then introduce them to all the helmets, but with the team's sponsors on them. Essentially all the base helmets can remain the same, but the sponsorship can change for each team.

Well sponsors sponsor F1 Teams and F1 drivers. Unfortunately, we aren't F1 drivers :P so the driver can't have the sponsors, but we are driving the team's car and wearing the teams' uniforms, so those can have sponsors. Make sense? These teams and all have very specific designs, and the sponsors agree to have their names as part of that design. The sponsors have nothing to do with your name or helmet, so they can't just be put on those. They are affiliated with the team, so can have their names on the car and uniform specific to the team.

Basically, anything you design or make can't have a sponsor on it since the sponsor never agreed anything with you and your design.

What I meant was, that the sponsors would be fixed in a position on the helmet which would be pre-arranged, and the base on the helmet would be left up to the player
