I have spoke to many members in the FM eSports Community and one thing they all wish to have is customisation of helmets and racesuits like the paint features using vinyl groups on the cars.
Further more to that, many FM players have brand loyalty to certain manufacturers i.e. Arai, Alpinestars, OMP etc. and I feel having that added as an extra customisation feature would really help with commercialisation in the community.
I feel this would being the next FM on par with the likes of Gran Turismo.
To take it a step further, you could implement in a character tab like FH5 or even the likes of F1 22’s F1 Life. Such customization could be game changing, especially for League Racers so they can represent their sponsors to the audience of FM Competitive. And in functionality, you can make it work as using the same functions as the livery creator, such as masks, special colors, etc. But instead of placing decals on a vehicular body, you are instead placing it on a model of a helmet or race suit. You can also do different helmet types, in which helmet models can be imported from FM7, and used as different options to customize. If you want to make this feature feasible, you can maybe implement a limit of 3-5 custom helmets/driver suits that can be saved or overridden at any time and the rest are premade like in previous Forza games. To conclude, this idea is beneficial to everybody, sponsors, drivers, casual players, etc. because it allows people’s creativity not only be represented on their vehicles, but their personality can also be placed on their helmet.

Great idea! Having a few fully customizable outfits should help cut down on the wardrobe clutter, too. This could work for most pieces of clothing in the game (and hopefully put less emphasis on them in wheelspins and the like.)

I heared it would be like this on next FM
The next Forza Motorsport should have the hability to customise your own racing suits just like the livery editor for the cars.
We could make racing suits that match each car color and livery.
That would be amazing!
I am a bit dissapointed about the avatar customization, because in the gameplay of the initial races we see there are only presets to choose. I hoped it would be like F1 Games, where you can paint the helmet, suit, gloves and boots.
While the selection of racesuit/helmets is varied, its only what is pre-loaded.
GT7 has a racesuit/helmet livery editor & from what I saw the options are unlimited.
I honestly thought Turn10 would have looked at this option too.
Id love the option to create my own racesuit & helmet.
Especially as im a Nigel Mansell fan, id love to create his championship winning F1 & Indycar racesuits/helmets.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of his 1993 Indycar championship win.
Please Turn10, have a look at this please.
Would like the feature to fully customise your race driver
This includes Helmet, suit, gloves and boots designs, also to design your showroom with your own helmet designs and more cars and different locations of the showroom and designs. It be great to also have a trophy cabinet to display all my achievements.
Also race win voice lines and custom celebrations on the podium and custom podium fireworks and stuff, maybe more than one design of podium also.
Helmet:
Types - full or rally sizes
Custom designs
Visors colours
Suit:
Custom designs
Racing gloves:
Type - full, finger tips, no glove
Racing boots/trainers:
Custom designs
Celebrations:
a race celebration audio choice of many audio lines
Podium - character celebration, locations and types of celebrations - fireworks, confetti and so on.
Showroom:
Helmet display with favourite designs
Trophy cabinet:
Career, Multiplayer, time trials, rivals.
Screenshot images on the walls.
Locations - car brand hq’s, garage, motor show floor.
That would be awesome to customize race suits and helmets so we can have matching race suits towards our cars if we customize them plus to expand more creativity amongst players
Im not asking for much here, if Gran Turismo can do it surely you can, I get that with pre made suits im gonna assume the plan was Micro transactioning. But atleast let us select colours we have on the suit lile F1 games do.
For me, FM8’s driver suits just don’t seem to cut it. I enjoyed suit collecting systems such as those in FM7, where each suit had its own description, design, and sense of individuality. But in the new game, every suit seems corporate, a little too bland for my liking, or it feels like they missed an opportunity to get the suit to the next level in terms of design.
So, I propose a system similar to Gran Turismo 7’s. Forza already has the software for car livery design, so why not helmets and race suits? Different models of suits (OMP, HRX, Alpinestars, Sparco) and different helmet models (Schuberth, Arai, Bell), as well as custom designs on each helmet. Each design could be shared and saved separately, exactly the same as car liveries.
This is just my request to see this happen, as I still wonder how this hasn’t been implemented in all the years people have been asking to see it come to the game.
