I wear a full-face helmet and have the shield covered in electrical tape other than a very small window in the center to see only the tree.

I flip the shield down when both cars are prestaged, and normally have the shield flipped back up before the front wheels come back down after launch.

It has helped my concentration on the starting line tremendously since I started with it about 5 years ago.
