Track day crash helmets
Can I use a scooter helmet (open face) or do I need a "proper" car one? Scooter ones look 
albeit not sure if they can legally be used?
Cheers, TX.

As far as Im aware no TDOs have been foolish enough to require 'car' helmets this year. Why after all? What benefit is a fireproof lining when you can be driving in tracksuit bottoms and a football shirt?
A BS6658-A helmet will be more than good enough.

Just a bump for this thread.
I am going to buy myself a crash helmet for future track days for 2011.
What level does a track helmet have to have for you to wear? What grade etc?
Can you wear open face or does it have to have a lid?
Looking at a new one by Bell but not sure if I can get away with even though it states it is FIA Approved.
Cheers
