It has evolved over the years but still is pretty much the same concept! Also my dad did some racing when he was young and always had black helmets, so I incorporated some of that into my design too! I have a C shape to my design on each side of my helmet to represent my first letter in my name. My dad engineered a driver named Fermin Velez in a Ferrari 33SP and at that time I was racing in karts and I really looked up to Fermin so I somewhat modeled my helmet paint after him. What’s the story behind your helmet design? I would have to say winning my first Daytona 24hr race in 2014 was pretty huge! Whew, tough one! Hard to pick one favorite memory. My dad was an engineer in racing and so as a young boy I thought what he did was really cool and exciting (how could you not when you are a kid, everyone wants to be a racer car driver at that age) and we started in go-karts and quarter midgets and just climbed up the ladder! I got into racing when I was about five-years-old. George put a big effort in the off-season to go and do some extra racing to stay sharp and focused, and that paid off! We knew after the 2019 season we had a lot to build off of and a good plan for the off season to make some gains, and executing that at COTA was very satisfying for the group! Crowdstrike had a big group of folks there to support us and it is always fun performing well in front of them and seeing the smiles! George drove really well and the DXDT team performed great. We caught up with Braun for this edition of Driver Download and discovered that while going fast on four-wheels is what he's known for, he has a love for most anything propelled on wheels. Braun is a title-winning pro driver who has competed at the top levels of motorsports and holds the distinction of being the youngest driver to stand on the podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well as being the holder of the fastest lap ever recorded at Daytona International Speedway. The DXDT Racing duo of Colin Braun and George Kurtz scored a couple of second place Pro/Am division finishes to open the GT World Challenge America 2020 season at Circuit of The Americas and the #04 Mercedes-AMG GT3 team currently sits second in the driver's championship.
