The joint project between Sauber F1 Team driver Kamui Kobayashi and the rock band Linkin Park has been very successful: 12,260 pounds have been raised for the one-off helmet with which Kobayashi raced at the finale of the 2011 Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo. The revenue from the online auction goes to the Japanese aid through the internationally renowned charity organisation “Music for Relief“, initiated by Linkin Park.
The idea was sparked by an encounter Kobayashi had with the band in September in Singapore. Joe Hahn, producer and band member of Linkin Park, personally designed the unique helmet.
Since 2005, “Music for Relief” has raised more than three million pounds for disaster victims and environmental projects. Of this, 450,000 pounds alone have been donated to Japan to help it deal with the consequences of the disasters that struck on 11th March 2011.
