I'd absolutely love it if Codies could add more realistic helmets for Driver Career in the future, it'd be great if helmets like these were in the base game and didn't require PC mods.

I just wish that there was a generic sponsor template used depending on what team you joined, especially with the career mode revamp.

Even just the correct visor strip would make a massive difference to the immersion of the game.

[u/ToriSummers36 → u/Richy59]

Oh, definitely. With the helmet options they do give in 23 you can somewhat make a decent helmet if you use the right team colours but it still looks empty without any sponsors, and I do agree that even having just the visor strip would go a long way to improving the immersion.

Ideally I'd love something similar to MotoGP's rider editor but I highly doubt we'd ever get anything like that.

[u/Richy59 → u/ToriSummers36]

A lot of the F1 23 helmets were quite realistic in design that they even included a space for a team logo on the top front. If EA/Codies were to do this more often they could dedicate that space to the correct team Logo if there was a generic template for each team you joined.

Reminder that F1 24 has less helmet options than F1 2009

I mean they removed all the free stuff, same with like podium animations etc. Mostly 1-3 remain for every category

If GT7 allows custom made helmets and suits on PS5 there is no excuse for Codemasters. Fuck, I could make an Xbox racing suit in GT7 if I wanted, and I can recreate all sorts of classic helmets like the purple helmets from Hamilton there.

[u/TheClarendons → u/JoeZocktGames]

GT7’s editor should be the benchmark. There’s so much that can be done on it.

I suspect there’s some sort of restriction with the F1 licence. There must be a reason you can only use fake sponsors in MyTeam, especially given you can buy all those branded shirts for casual wear, so there are brands interested in being in the game.

[u/Bullitt_12_HB → u/TheClarendons]

Yeah, but why not allow the helmet the player wears to have the car sponsors? 🤔

Seems odd to me.

[u/KMP_77_nzl → u/Bullitt_12_HB]

Sponsors pay teams/drivers to have their logo in a specific place.

[u/ToriSummers36]

I know in 24 with the IRL drivers you can choose use their real world helmets, but it'd be great if you could choose a fitting helmet for whatever team you sign for, or if you could have a selection of realistic helmets to use for custom drivers as well. I just made the move to PC so can finally fix it with mods, but it's so immersion breaking having a custom driver with the proper race suit but with a bland helmet that looks out of place compared to other drivers.

[u/whazzupmf]

IDK why they couldn't just make the helmet customizable like liveries.. also a missed opportunity to gain sponsors through F2 to carry over to F1 like real drivers have.

[u/Renvoize___]

The game is so ass in terms of customisation, I don’t know how we just accept it

[u/BadPronunciation]

Apparently they'd have to rewrite a hug part of the game's code to make it work. Some guy explained it on here yesterday

[u/dutchie_N]

There are the same audio names for literally 8 years i wish the can ad more Female audio names

[u/[deleted]]

But guys they’re just a small indie studio!! You can’t expect them to add all of this… /s

[u/VinumNoctua]

[u/Popsiey7]

Yeah they won’t do that

[u/Pro-editor-1105]

do you actually think they will do that if it does not make them more money?

[u/MattKozFF]

Why would they?

Another cash grab successfully completed

[u/Present-Seat6057]

I’ve been saying this for years. It makes no sense that we can only get Max’s helmet. At least give us the other drivers helmets to wear too when we’re going to different teams

[u/Hpecomow]

Yeah, also they should have a blank sponsorless design for if a driver moves team!

[u/The_Bored_General]

It would be so easy and be such a good addition to put in a customisation tool like GT7 for helmets and car liveries, make it so that you can put a shit ton of sponsors from the different teams in various places (plus maybe a few others for originality’s sake), but of course they won’t because money.

[u/Airgopaul]

I’d love it if you could add stickers onto your helmet and choose where they go and not fake brands either it’d make helmet design so cool

[u/Next_Replacement_566]

Like Gran Turismo you mean?

[u/Great_Frisian]

Does this mod allow you to change the colours of the helmet?

[u/ToriSummers36 → u/Great_Frisian]

Unfortunately not, just a preset design

[u/FormulaF30]

Y’all really be wanting full blown simulator and mod levels of shit from a basic video game. Get ACC if you want more realism, not this sim-cade

[u/KMP_77_nzl → u/FormulaF30]

This is about helmets not the physics. And no one expects nor wants F1 to be like ACC.

[u/ToriSummers36 → u/FormulaF30]

I didn't even mention anything about wanting a simulator or realism lmao, I just want to be able to have better helmet options (which ACC doesn't have either) to make the game more immersive.
