I bought an old full face race helmet for $3 at a swap meet today and want to paint it the livery of a famous racer. I was thinking of doing James Hunt and swapping out his name for mine, but am open to ideas.

It's awesome and probably true but I feel it is overdone.

Heiki's Angry Birds helmet is pretty awesome, if you want modern.

I respected Lewis' helmet at COTA last year. Made me root for him to win cause 'Murica.

I would've probably put James Hunt if you hadn't already. If you were Brazilian I wouldn't let you do anything other then Senna, however.

I liked them simple and identifiable.

Hill, Stewart, Couthard, Button, are a few that come to mind.

... and British, apparently. Funnily enough, I was just thinking earlier today how similar McNish's design is to Stewart's. Different tatran, obviously, but similar otherwise.

Also, I was wondering which Hill you were referring to until I GIS'ed them both. Like father, like son.
