I've seen some people have lot's of racing gears, and I have only gotten these from the expert series, and I want more.
Question is:

Where/How do I get Racing gear items?
 
You get them from the newest Seasonals (Fiat, Lotus and Subaru) and for the newest Drift and Time Trail events (on the far right of the Seasonals).

If you create a second(or more) account you can race them and get the Suit/Helmets again and again and again
Plus there is no Trading Cap for theese Items (I think) => you can get all of them pretty quick.

I did this last night, made a 2nd psn account, did the new seasonals (drift and TT only though, then sent all the suits to my main account. Then i deleted the save on the 2nd psn account and did them over again and once again sent all the suits to my main psn account. I wont be doing this anymore though i want to play through this 2nd psn game now :)

Note that your GT5 inbox will be full after 50 items and this will also trigger the gifting restriction for 24 hours per console rule.
 
How do people have so many of these if we can only win it once with the new seasonals? Do u win them in open lobby online races as well?

No. As it was said above you back-up your save before doing the 'new' seasonals then once you get the suits/hemets send them to another account then delete the save an do the seasonal again. Wash rinse and repeat :)
 
their are 630 of each as of right now.... thats not including Stig and vettle, those have yet to be seen

Also in the new cinematic you can see the Loeb helmet! i wonder how its looks in a carrer driver.

I'm not sure if that is true.

I started trading with people in here last night and have been sent more than a thousand items.
 
oh ok the inbox of my main account got full and it said i could not recieve anymore on that account so i emptied it but did not try to send further gear, thanks ;)

Incorrect. The limit is 50 per day, and that includes if you've sent other stuff. However, this might be more of a limitation on how much the receiving person can have waiting to be collected. What I mean is, if you send me 50 items and I haven't yet received them, you can't send me any more, but perhaps if I receive them you could then send more. What I can say for certain is that I had an alternate account send me a bunch and it cut it off at 50.

People can dupe them, for one thing. In theory, you could send me helmets without ever losing any of your helmets by simply restoring a backup save, and I could likewise send you helmets the same way. If you make another account and backup before it receives suits and helmets, you can get unlimited helmets by simply restoring all the time.

However, the random helmets and suits seem to always be of certain series, and seem to basically be the most bland/generic ones. You'll get a lot of Horizons, Choppers, and maybe a couple more types of helmets, as well as a lot of Bi-color, Trainee, and maybe one or two other types of suits.
