Sorry if this has been covered before but I'm sure there is expertise in this corner of PH.

I am doing a track day with a hired Caterham soon and would really like communication between driver and passenger. What would be a good intercom system that will work with the crash helmets we already have?

Thanks

Thanks, but didn't want to spend a King's ransom on them as they won't get used often until I can convince the Mildred that a Caterham is a great everyday car .

Needs to work in full face helmets.

Do you really mean that you want to buy a Caterham as an everyday car? And if you do, would you and your passenger always be wearing helmets on each daily trip out?

You won't need intercoms on a trackday. Sessions are only 20 minutes and that'll go very quickly!

If you take instruction (which I'd heartily recommend) your instructor will supply an intercom and speakers that fit under the helmet.
Sorry, I was being flippant about an everyday car. But I do intend to buy one for myself at some point.

We're planning the open pit-lane day at a track so we'll have lots of track time. The instructors do go out with the drivers, but they keep their intercoms and we'd like have some communication afterwards- even if it's just asking the passenger to wave someone past or to put and hand up when were coming into the pits.
