Maverick Vinales (Aprilia Racing) has collaborated with MotoGP24 videogame developer Milestone to create a unique fan competition, allowing fans to use the game’s helmet editor to design a lid for him to wear at Misano. The Spaniard is sporting the winning design – chosen by Top Gun himself – at the Gran Premio Red Bull di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini this weekend.
The idea showcases how gaming and real-world sports can come together, with the winning helmet design coming from a Brazilian player. It features a dynamic mix of colours as well as the face of a gorilla, a nod to one of Vinales’ special podium celebrations we’ve seen him do this year. The helmet will also be available in MotoGP24, allowing players to race with the same look as Vinales in their virtual competitions.
