Helmet for Track Day - Standards for compliance ?

[P400PLS]

I need to buy a helmet and planned to do it this afternoon, however I have forgotten to pick up the blurb from the TVRCC that states which standards the helmet needs to comply with.

Anyone help me on this one please ?

The helmets should meet the MSA 'blue book' standard, however many venues/organisers are happy with a standard motorcycle helmet.

I hope you're not trying to advise peeps on track days without permission Tim?

No one. Absolutely no-one has ever checked my helmet at a track day. Being present and on your head with the strap done up firmly is about what you need. I suspect if you tried wearing a cycle helmet or one for skateboarding or some such thing they wouldn't stand for that but otherwise - don't worry!

Just buy a decent lid - ten dollar helmet for a ten dollar head as they say...

Nick, kindly put that big wooden spoon down, we won't be needing in on this thread.

I wear a karting helmet and no one has said a thing about it in the last two years.

It is an Arai though and the Snell K2005 spec is basically the same as SA2005 just without the fireproof lining.
