In his last season with the BAR Honda team Jacques managed 6 top 10 finishes with a best placing of 6th at the Italian and Brazilian GP’s. This relegated him to 16th overall in the 2003 World Championship. Jacques wore this Bell K-1 helmet during the 2003 Spanish Grand Prix weekend held at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain, April 26-28. Jacques qualified 11th but dropped out of the race after 12 laps with electrical issues. The helmet painted by Bell Racing Europe is tagged “2003-5” and has the Spain flag decal added to the back to signify where the helmet was worn. The helmet has all of Villeneuve’s customizations; vents are closed off, extra eye-port foam has been added, the Hans Clips and full race radio as well remain intact. The helmet shows very nice wear with a number of small chips in the paint and three tear-offs still remain attached on the race-used visor with the top tear-off signed by Villeneuve. Also included is the original Bell carrying bag with “J.V. 2003-05” handwritten annotations. This item is from Jacques Villeneuve’s personal collection and will come with his signed LOA.
