I have my first track day on Wednesday so I have been out and baught a helmet. It is a bike helmet that conforms to a "gold Standard". Is this ok for basic track days!

Yeah that helmet will be perfectly fine

If you fancy a custom paint job for your new lid, let me know. I've just had mine done by a chap near Preston and he did some first class work for a reasonable rate.

Er not sure that does qualify. It needs to be one of the following :

SA2000
BS6658 Type A (with an FR added on for racing (fire resistant)).

A lot of circuits don't actually check, but more and more are beginning to do so. You can get a properly certified lid for 100 quid, so I don't see the point in cheaping out further than that for safety gear. Cheap helmet, cheap head...

I'm with Dan on this one. Buy a proper lid. They make you wear one for a reason!
