Question about helmets for track time...

[CrippsCorner]

Just a quickie... girlfriend is being a passenger and wondering if the ones you can borrow from Silverstone are full face or not?

 

[Adam G]

Never borrowed one but I think I remember seeing people with them and they were open but don't quote me and they could have replaced them since last year.

 

[.:Tank:.]

I wondered this.. Also does your helmet have to have the Motorsport use label... As I was just going to get the £50 omp open face one which doesn't have a sticker but says its for track days and let my Missus us my motocross lid.

I've never had a helmet checked in 10 years and I use the basic OMP Clubman too.

You should be absolutely fine with it.

 

[Adam G]

The open face one will be fine Tank, the motoX one may not be though. A lot of TD operators don't like them anymore. If you're going to hire one then get there early, I remember hearing them say that they were running out, as people weren't returning them quick enough last year.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Thanks I got a OMP one too... it's pretty damn tight but hopefully it'll be okay.

 

[.:Tank:.]

I'm gonna get two there £50 so get one for the Missus too...

Did use my motocross lid last year but was only passenger.

It depends who's running the days usually - I've seen open face and full face.
Most of the time they're just cheap full face motorbike helmets
