Has anyone seen something like this before?  Its a real Simpson racing firesuit.  Was it for a promo of somekind?

 

 

Another photo of suit

It looks like the NHRA had a sponsored car in 2015, but the R1 came out in 2013

I dunno. But the lack of other logos on it means its probably just a promotional item. I don't recall any of the cars in the major racing series i watch (IMSA, F1, indy car) sporting that type of livery.

Yeah, like I noted at the bottom of my post, it looks like TaylorMade sponsored an NHRA car in 2015.  But I couldn't find anything in 2013.

 

I may just get a racing helmet and wear to the driving range and see what kind of reactions I get.  LOL.

And you wonder why Taylormade is tanking it...

You would be my hero for life.

Make sure the helmet has "Tiger Proofing" written on it.

Maybe I will use some Callaway or Nike clubs when I'm at the range, to confuse people even more.

Are there any current NASCAR/NHRA drivers (aside from Chad Head) that are sponsored by a golf company?

[quackhead]

Is there someone here that knows anyone at TaylorMade I could contact, that might know something about this race suit?

Found this photo.  Looks like they did some pretty extreme marketing the year the R1 came out.  Wondering if the race suit was used at one of the PGA tournaments during 2013
