1. It has a BS6658 TYPE A/FR (fireproof) red sticker. Can it be used for:
a) Car trackday?
b) Motorbike trackday?
c) Car racing?
d) Motorbike racing?
e) UK road car driving?
f) UK road motorbike driving?
2. It has another sticker that reads: MSA - Helmet Approved For Motor Sport, 2002. If I do a good DIY job putting official HANS anchors on, do you think it could be used with a HANS device in an FIA race, even though it doesn't have an FIA sticker? Or could this in fact invalidate my helmet altogether?
http://www.bellracing.info/images/photos/FIA%20List%2025%201.1.2009_2.pdf seems to suggest that my red BSI sticker is a 'recognised' standard by FIA, but what does 'recognised' mean? Understood as being suitable for some races or FIA legal for all?
3. The ad says 'with Peltor Built In Intercom & hearing protection'.
a) With a 'built in Intercom' what else would I need to buy to be able to hear the passenger?
b) In a rally, does the driver and the passenger normally both have a mic for two way conversation or just the passenger for shouting out the directions?
c) It's difficult to see but the connector looks like a normal 3.5mm earphone connector but with 3 rings? Can anyone confirm that this means the earphones are stereo and the third ring is for transmitting mono mic?
d) Can a Peltor equiped helmet be plugged into a regular mp3 player / Satnav for stereo music when driving around (not racing)?
e) Does the 'hearing protection' suggest some clever noise cancellation algorithm or just that you'll hear less generally due to big headphones?
Thanks in advance!
