Riders start each season with a certain look, a helmet design and leather combination that makes them stand out from the crowd. But sometimes special races, dates or events call for a special helmet or livery. At the Catalan GP Eugene Laverty (Aspar Team MotoGP) used a replica of the helmet worn by his namesake and close family friend Eugene McDonnell.
Laverty’s special helmet is set to make it into MotoGP Championship Quest, the official mobile game of the MotoGP™ World Championship. The helmet was painstakingly photographed and then modelled in 3D before being applied to Laverty’s in-game character. The special tribute finds its way into the pockets of millions of MotoGP™ fans around the world as they continue to compete in the popular game.
This is just the first update of its kind that We Play, the developers of MotoGP Championship Quest, plan to release. New helmets and liveries pop up all the time and the developers have the ability to quickly respond to bring these small, but interesting changes to the game.
