Sydney, Australia, September 18, 2026 – Milestone and MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group are delighted to unveil the special helmet that Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP rider Toprak Razgatlioğlu will wear during the upcoming Grand Prix of Austria. The unique design, created by the players of the MotoGP™26 videogame, was personally selected by the Turkish rider and will make its debut on track during the next race weekend.
For the third consecutive year, players of the MotoGP™ videogame had the opportunity to showcase their creativity through the game’s helmet editor, a powerful graphic customisation tool that allows fans to bring their ideas to life and create unique designs to use in their virtual races. From May 14 to June 14, 2026, thousands of creations were submitted from more than 50 countries worldwide, highlighting once again the passion and global reach of the game’s community. The winning design, created by a Swiss player, celebrates the rider’s homeland by showcasing the Istanbul Park circuit wrapped in a Turkish flag, enriched by a stunning sunset-inspired graphic on the rear section of the helmet.
“It has been great working with Milestone and the MotoGP™ videogame team on this initiative. It is always special to see the passion of MotoGP™ fans, and this helmet is a great example of how creative our fanbase can be,” said Toprak Razgatlioğlu. “I can’t wait to pay homage to my Turkish roots by wearing this beautiful design at the Austrian Grand Prix. It’s a great feeling to bring something created by a fan from the virtual world onto the real track.”
“We are extremely excited to continue this special initiative for another year,” said Matteo Pezzotti, MotoGP™26 Game Director. “Our game brings moments of joy and entertainment to players around the world, and it is fantastic to see this passion extend beyond the console and to the real world of MotoGP™. We would like to thank Toprak for his support and availability, as well as our fans for continuing to embrace this project with such enthusiasm.”
The helmet will not only be seen by millions of fans worldwide during the race weekend in Austria, but it will also be available as an in-game item in MotoGP™26, allowing players to race with the same special design as Razgatlioğlu.
MotoGP™26 is available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™2, Nintendo Switch™, ROG Xbox Ally, ROG Xbox Ally X, and PC via Steam, Microsoft Store, and Epic Games Store.
