This time around we\u2019re featuring helmets \u2013 and these safety devices are more than just practical, they\u2019re art. More than that, for a professional race driver or rider they\u2019re also their trademarks \u2013 their identities whilst their faces are masked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We spoke to Joe Tanner of Rennat Design \u2013 the man behind some massive names in motorsport including around half the BTCC grid, like Adrian Flux-backed Ash Sutton – for some insider info.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

Influx: How did you start designing and painting helmets?<\/em><\/p>\n

Joe Tanner: “I work as a full-time race instructor at Knockhill but always had an interest in art having been to art college after school, I started painting as a hobby and did a design for my friend Rory Butcher in 2009, then it just took off, I was full-time painting helmets within six months of that first design.”<\/p>\n

Influx: Have you got a favourite design you’ve done for someone else? <\/em><\/p>\n

JT: “I did a helmet for Lando Norris a few years ago when he did the Macau F3 race, it\u2019s probably my favourite, it has a roulette table on top and the Macau skyline on the rear, it also won us the Europe helmet painter of the year award in 2016 which was pretty cool.”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n

Influx: Do you have a personal design for yourself?<\/em><\/p>\n

JT: “Yes but it old now, I really need a new one but I\u2019m to busy painting for my customers to find the time!”<\/p>\n

Influx: What’s the trickiest design you’ve had to do? <\/em><\/p>\n

JT: “Ash Sutton\u2019s are always tricky, he likes a lot of detail and some difficult effect to get right.”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

Influx: How much does a bespoke helmet paint cost?<\/em><\/p>\n

JT: “Anywhere between \u00a3450-\u00a31500 depending on how complex the design is and the detail involved.”<\/p>\n

Influx: How much input do you put into designs like Ash Sutton’s special anniversary ‘black and white’ helmet?<\/em><\/p>\n

JT: “Ash works closely with Miles Murphy at MDM designs to create a computer-generated image before I start to paint, however, I add a few small tweaks and effects myself once I get going.”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

Influx. What kind of helmets can and can’t be painted?<\/em><\/p>\n

JT: “These days we can paint just about everything out there.”<\/p>\n

Influx: Have you got any upcoming projects you’re allowed to tell us about? <\/em><\/p>\n

JT “I just got a new Stilo shell for Jamie Chadwick which I\u2019m looking forward to doing, Jamie has a rough outline of a design which features the JC on the side but she lets me get a bit creative with it, which is normally how we end up with something cool…”<\/p>\n
