Trackday Helmet Help

[RS Grant]

...sorry, this wil have been done to death I'm sure, but I'm looking for a new helmet would be greatful of some advice.

- Don't want to spend hundreds on something,
- I would like the option to use it in an open top car if I get the offer of a passenger seat at any point, therefore it will have to be full face.
- Brand matters not a jot to me, if George at Asda did something suitable then I'd gladly wear it.

I started off looking at things like these:

...then after looking at more and more of them, ended up quite fancying this:

...not really wanting to spend more than a couple of hundred at the most, so for the money, I thought this Bell sounded good and in particular the re-active visor which would deal with any low sun that I encountered?


Cheers,

A lot of food for thought here, thanks very much.

Regarding the V2 stuff, I had been considering them after reading up on them on various threads, however I read that they use the same shell for Large, XLarge and XXLarge and the difference in sizing was due to a reduction of padding inside.. and I'm not sure I'd like a 'stripped out' version of a Large helmet?!

I'll go away and have another look at the manufacturers suggested and also try to get down to a local helmet supplier and try a few things on and see if there's anything they've got which is suitable.

Is there a great deal of difference in view out of either a bike helmet or a car helmet??


Cheers,
