Looking Period
Discussion
I love Classic Car racing, and participate in one series, but one thing that detracts when watching on the TV is Multi Coloured helmets in open cars, that look totally out of period. I understand and accept the need for modern helmets/suits.
Last night I was watching an hour long program on last years Goodwood Revival, the first race all (sports car to 54) all the drivers had white helmets and it looked great, the next two races (Cars to 64 and the Suffolk trophy) had multi coloured helmets. Does any one know if there is a requirement for white helmets in the earlier race?

Rop thanks for that, really what I thought, encouraged not mandatory, I agree not a big issue but the to 54 race was exclusively white, looked good, which was why I thought there was maybe a rule on pre 60 cars, some of the cars at Silverstone classic look out of place with very bright helmets.
