Helmets...
Any good suggestions for where to get a helmet from for trackdays? Had a look at the likes of demon tweeks etc, but wondered if there was anywhere better?
Assuming the best plan is to go and try a load on, so anywhere nearish London would be good. |

I got my Sparco helmet from Merlin Motorsport at Castle Combe circuit.
I think GPR Direct is still another option too.

 Consider these guys also, met Roger at a recent trackday, The Racing Line, a new TDO use his helmets and i tried one, they are very good imho, and priced right at £130, why spend £400~500 on an Arai ?? they are also Motorsport approved, note that Steve mac if you dont already have one mate ! I shall be getting one of them myself

Do most run with a full face helmet or open style? I ask because I still do not own one as I have only tracked my car in Deutschland and like the wind in my hair - if I had any (well a bit more at least - in the right places)!

Open face helmets make the wearer look like a fat faced coont.
I have a full face helmet and a slim, beautiful face of course. I am still a coont though.

If you don't want to spend lots of money then try Hein Gericke. (Yes I know they are a motorbike shop!) I bought a full face HJC helmet for £40....can't go wrong with that!
Obviously not motorsport spec but it's full motorbike spec so higher than normal car spec helmets.
