I decided to look for a helmet today.
In July we will need helmets for the Le Mans Half hour session.
So I thought I would just go to a bike shop and buy one that would meet current specifications
Well therein lies the problem
What is required for a UK track day helmet in the current nanny state?
There are loads of helmets that meet the specifications for track days for bikes (EC2205) with Gold Label, but apparantly these are not or may not be acceptable at certain circuits (Specifically mentioned Brands Hatch and Silverstone)
So can anyone give a definative answer as to what is acceptable? I'd rather not buy one and then immediately need to replace it.
Last thing I'll not be racing so hopefully not need the flameproofing and HANS device.
I need to start now as the seat needs adjusting to get my head off the roof!
