For this I understand I will need a crash helmet but what type of helmet will be suitable. Who does it need to be approved by, full face open face, £60 or £400. Any recommendations

If you do decide to buy the following is the case:- "The only requirement for every track day is a helmet conforming to BS6658 Type A or Snell SA2000" Some tracks namely Brands insist on full face in an open top car but I think this is mainly aimed at the small screen cars like caterhams etc. I use an open face and have done so for 3 years now without being quizzed on it. See you at North Weald PS you don't need a crash hat for that !
