Gulf livery helmet
'm in the process of designing my racing helmet for '03. I was thinking of having it painted in the Gulf livery blue/orange scheme made famous by the 917's and GT40's from the 60/70's.
I thought I had seen a helmet painted with the Gulf livery a few years ago when the Audi R8 raced with the Gulf livery but cannot find any photos. Can anyone confirm that a helmet was indeed painted with this livery and if so, please link photos.
Many thanks,
Scott

Scott,
Patrick Lemarie co-drove in Stefan Johansson's Audi R8 at both Laguna Seca and Petit Le Mans in 2001. His helmet, while not in the traditional Gulf livery, was a good match for the car. Here's a picture from Turn 5 at Road Atlanta.

Scott,
Also, FWIW, here is a link to the area on The Race Site that highlights various drivers' helmets. There are some interesting design ideas to view...
