It depends how much your looking to spend really, I use my old Karting helmet (Arai SK5)

well i would say round the £100 mark really but cheaper the better! what about sizes ect...

Go to your local motorbike clothing store and get a bike helmet. They are fine and allowed for trackdays, I have one bike helmet and one car helmet.

Go to Hein Gericke on Great Western Road in town mate. I paid £130 for my bike helmet.

You can get open face but I went for full face because everyones into there cars at trackdays you can get a few passenger laps if your talking away to people, caterhams, atoms etc.

You'll be able to get one from there too mate their shops are all over the UK

Don't do what I did at cadwell and go for a pass lap in my bike helmet with no visor fitted !!! Flys in my eyes at 90mph mental lol

I just use my bike lid if it's good enough for my 180mph yamaha r1 it will do for the Clio lol

I've allways used my bike helmets ,but this yera I'm going to buy an openface (more comfy in the car.)from Hein Gericke.
