The partnership between Dia Design and the BeDriver team enters an exciting new chapter with the creation of the custom painted helmet for Tarek Fahmy. Official driver and co-owner of BeDriver, Tarek competes in major championships dedicated to Porsche racing, including the Porsche Sports Cup Suisse, driving the high-performance Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.

For a driver who combines his Egyptian heritage with a passion for the track and his active role as team co-owner, the helmet is a true statement of identity. The custom design developed for Tarek Fahmy blends the modernity of sharp racing lines with the ancient majesty of Egypt, creating an extraordinary visual bridge between past and future.

Design Concept: The Pharaoh’s Wing and Gold Hieroglyphs

The design is built on a Bell helmet shell with a high-impact gloss finish. The base features a deep dark blue, enriched with light blue outlines, gradients, and pinstripes that accentuate the shell’s aerodynamic contours.

The central element of the custom paintwork is the ancient Egyptian iconography, reinterpreted for motorsport:

  • The Pharaoh’s Wing: The sides feature a majestic stylized wing, inspired by the Pharaoh’s wing (and the Horus iconography), painted in a bright metallic gold that catches the light through every corner.
  • Gold Hieroglyphs: Down the center and top of the helmet, columns of hand-painted golden historical hieroglyphs run, featuring classic symbols like the Ankh (the key of life) and the winged scarab, symbolizing rebirth and protection.
  • Iconic Details: Within the golden patterns, geometric shapes emerge, recalling ancient amphoras and the profile of a pharaoh’s head.

Completing this extraordinary composition, the gold iridium visor creates a perfect color continuity with the metallic gold details, giving the driver a powerful and royal look on the starting grid.
