Driving a convertible at the Nurburgring.....
Discussion
unless it was raining - this was me 2009
I used to take my old S2000 around the Ring without a helmet, trusting that the ABS, airbags, rollover bar, etc would keep me safe if the worst happened.
Then I spoke to a marshall who told me the lovely tale of a flipped over TVR sliding along upside down, wearing the driver's head down to the neck on the tarmac.
Since then, I always wore a helmet on track and insisted that passengers did the same.
Yeah, it doesn't look as cool and you are slightly limited in vision, sound, etc, but the options don't bear thinking about.

I've never found any pics (it was years ago) from when a group of us went in some interesting cars and a friend took his Azure round the ring , roof down and with his panama hat on. He certainly got some strange looks! 
We got worried about the repair bills when he didn't come back around but he had stopped to help a fallen biker.
