HELMART CUSTOMISED RACING SIMULATOR
I am hyped to show off the latest Helmart special project - a place where I love to show my art & creativity outside the realm of painting racing helmets.
Next Level Racing approached me to put my spin on one of their amazing racing simulator cockpits, and I had so much fun putting this whole thing together!
THE PROJECT
While waiting for the Next Level Racing F-GT Elite frame and ES1 seat to arrive, I began drafting design plans, envisioning how it would come to life.
I wanted it to be SUPER loud and intense in terms of colors and layout so that, even when not in use, it would stand out like my other artworks—a statement piece of colour and design for any room.
With NLR's HQ being in Australia, I thought true Aussie colors of yellow and green would be epic, complemented by subtle accents of white and black.
THE DETAILS
I spent a seriously intense amount of hours on all areas of this project. I dedicated numerous days alone to preparation of the seat, which was made of heavily textured plastic that needed to be perfect before moving on to the fun stage of painting it. I absolutely love the seat and its shape; with the super soft, suede-like fabric, it looks even more awesome now that it’s painted.
As with everything I create, I knew the smallest and even at times unseen details would really help pull it all together. I spent hours on custom cable management, with each wiring set in its own matching fluorescent yellow tube, all exiting at one point for ease of moving and cleaning the simulator. I also focused on matching parts, like custom green seatbelts with the Helmart logo on the adjusters, a custom-painted fluorescent yellow paddle shifter on the McLaren GT3 wheel, tiny racing-inspired caster wheels, and so much more.
