Helmets for trackdays (not competition!)

Maybe, but buying a bike lid to wear specifically in a car on track days is a pretty dumb thing to do.

I had the helmet from a old bike. Wasn't going to buy one specially for a few passenger laps! I do agree with your point.

That must be half the people I saw at York last week then!

Not trying to hijack this thread but rather than start a new one I thought I would post in here.  I am looking for a reasonably priced lid for trackdays.  I want to spend as little as possible but do want it to last, be comfortable and most of all SAFE!  I have read a number of opinions and the full face vs open face argument seems to run and run.  I have found this http://www.rgslracing.com/moto-spec-helmet.html and it wouild appear, to me anyway, to be a perfect compromise.  The mask can be fitted when hooning around the track and left off when driving home.  Is this a good idea or are there better silutions out there?

Many thanks,

Jon

You won't need the lenses at all, to be honest.

You DO need to know what the regs are applicable to that lid.  Is it for bikes or cars?  The open face Sparco one I linked to earlier in the thread is great - specifically it allows plenty of visibility on the track, so you can see where other people are!
