I would have thought that its so driver and co-driver can communicate more easily if the intercom broke. Plus, its surely more comfortable in very hot countries.

Some of them have in the past (and some may do now, but I've not watched it for a couple of years), but then what would they hit their faces on?

That's just what I thought surely they have more chance of something coming through the screen then a circuit racer.

I believe that Colin McRae switched to a full face after breaking his jaw in a shunt.
