Hello,

I'm entered in to a sprint, and while I could borrow a helmet I'm tempted to buy one instead. I've got the boots, gloves and suit from previous motorsport things, but not a helmet that will do.

I've had a google, but I find myself trawling through loads of motorcycle helmets (which is a massive distraction as I need a new one of those too).

Any good links for places to buy car helmets?

Also any advice for sprint novices gratefully received. My plan is to not crash and gradually improve.

Thanks,

Muppet.

Thanks everyone. I won't be using Demon Tweeks unless I need a comparision price to make the lid I buy anywhere else seem cheap.

Try not to buy your helmet online to ensure it actually fits - no location given so no easy advice for a store
My plan was to try it on and send it back if it doesn't fit, most internet sites seem fine with this.

Make sure you get a HANS version you will need it for MSA Sprints and hill climbs from next year.
Recently got an e-mail from Mode Racewear they are doing Carbon approved lids for 400 quid
Really? Hans for sprints? Thanks MSA.

Currently I don't even need a four point harness - what would be the point of having HANS with an inertia reel seat belt?
