Anyone know where I can get a water bottle with the straw out the top so you can get a drink while wearing a helmet.

I often get suited up before my stint just in case and sometimes would like a drink just before I get into the kart for a race. I have thought about a camel back drinking system but I cant wear it on my back and I have a rib protecter on my chest.

In F1 the drinks are actually stored in the car and refrigerated to whatever the temperature they wish.

So i guess if you want to have what the F1 drivers have you'd probably need somewhere to store it like the F1 drivers do.

What about one of those foam dome things? You know the ones with the 2 beer can holders on a hard hat with a straw going into each.

Wow is that for real?? I understand that the fastest drivers in the world obviously need to drink, but I would have thought that a re-fridgerated chiller unit on a F1 car would have been a no no due the extra weight?

One would presume therefore that; Honda was slowest cos they were running a mini-bar with ice machine, and Williams only had a Millets Thermos-flask with a straw

You can get a thing for cycling called a "Camelbak" which is a rucksack with a drink bag in it, connected to a tube with a flow valve on. Stash the bag under the seat!

See www.camelbak.com
