Track Day Helmets
.
I've never had my helmet checked on a trackday, and I once used a helmet discarded by an indoor karting centre... :shock:
i'd stay clear of Bike helmets for the simple reason that the vision is more limited when looking straight forward as opposed to up slightly (as with most modern forwards position bikes).
Go for the best you can afford - the only choice to make is open or closed face.... open is fine unless you want to use with roofless car - in which case a visor will be needed. But on a hot day in an enclosed cabin they can be unbearably hot.

That should be fine, I've always used my Arai bike helmet. If it's built to save your head falling off a bike then it should be more than up to the job of protecting it in the Trophy. If I had spare cash then I would buy an open face helmet for in the car just to keep cooler.
Harness - check.
Helmet - check.
When you going to get on track Ben? Let me know what you book and I'll come along.

I havn't tried sitting in my trophy with a helmet...might look a bit strange going to the shops...but on track is not possible to have ur head shoot to right and smash through the side window?? I guess you wouldn't with a harness but a normal seatbelt?
