Only jesting.... well for the moment anyway.

Most tracks/circuits are thinking about only allowing an approved list of helmets due to safety and insurance issues.

It looks

and, in the event of an accident, an open face is much easier to remove, infact, it would probably be left on as you can mantain an airway still with it on.Spikey, get a peltor visor for your's, they look the tits!

Nice one Steve , will have to take a trip up to The Bike shop in Stevenage then
Unless my mate lends me his for the day and I will get one at a later date.

Will have to try an open faced helmet as that is a good point about the vision bit
