Helmet suggestions

[Many Blue Flags]

Howdy all

I'm thinking about getting a customised helmet for Christmas, and though I've got the colours I want, I don't know what setting to put them in. So I thought what better than having honour to an F1 reject? So could I have your suggestions for what Reject helmet I should paint in my own colours? The best suggestion that I choose will get a picture of me posted to this site wearing it. ;3

Ayrton Senna-- the single most iconic helmet in racing history.

Says it all really.

BTW, after seeing the title I thought this was Erection at Nude Beach-style spam. I won't say why.

[Stramala]

I can't tell you whose helmet this is, or I'll get thumped by another damn Papaya.

I always kinda liked it...

I always kinda liked it...

If I ever get a helmet painted (oo-er) that would have to be a strong contender for the colour scheme, it's very nice indeed

I'm liking it...

Though not a reject by any means, he drove for enough reject teams to get a numerous mentions here...

You could probably do away with the stars. Nico Rosberg stole this design, more or less.

How about putting the best parts of reject drivers' helmets together?

Pink from Lamy, spider from Tarquini, olive leaf from Chiesa, pineapple from Zanardi, "rainbow" from Wilson etc.

Another vote for Zanardi - I've always loved that design for some reason (and that's the one I use on BATracer!)

[Phoenix]

If it wasn't a reject, I'd have proposed that helmet, but in the Sr, variant, with red and white and no silly sponsors.

All white ..... and a white race suit and boots n gloves

Original.

It would get dirty easily.

It would get dirty easily.

Are you implying something about my driving style?

When in doubt, Master Chief.

[Jordan]

Not a reject by the standards set out, but

Eeerm..well, white clothes get dirty more easily than other clothes, but if you've interpretated this on another way, perhaps you're trying to hide us something...

That is HWNSNBM's helmet!

No. Not hiding anything. Certainly not multiple spins on a damp track into the muddy grassy banks. Not at all.

With these as his race overalls:

plain white ?
are we talking about "the stig" ? Then we are back with a F1-reject

Anyways, I think bold and simple paintworks are the best. Recognizable and personal...I my opinion modern F1 helmet designs are ways to busy and overloaded with airbrush effects.

Ayrton, Alesi, Lauda, Prost had helmets i liked, but none of them are rejects

Which are the personal colors you want to include in the design ? This maybe relevant for the paintscheme...
Back top topic : Gary Brabham´s Helmet was outstanding, sad it was never seen in a race. But watch the beautifull picture in the benetton testrun

Cheers

Sorry to go back to Alessandro Nannini, yes he's not a reject, but his Helmet paint scheme always suggested "Menace"

[Phoenix]

I think at this point Many Blue Flags is already enjoying his new helmet...

[dr-baker]

Talk about a bump... I thought this thread dated back to just before Christmas...

[DonTirri]

you know, speaking of helmets, i've been dying to find a site with a good collection of helmet pictures. Can't seem to find any good ones.

F1Rejects has a good selection of them on the top of the profiles...

I wouldn't type that into google (at least without the words "race" or "motorbike" also added).
