To the full face crowd, if you're in a closed cockpit car with harnesses, it seems like overkill. Look at the rally guys. That's some of the highest probability of impact driving there is, and that's fia approved. They go plenty fast.

I instruct, and after trying this helmet, much prefer this style. Easier to talk, and less beat up at the end of the day. It's even got cut outs for an intercom system built in.


I am on my third (or is it fourth?) full face helmet currently.

My primary helmet is wired for track instruction and I've considered an open face helmet as a spare for Autocross, Except airbags.

If my track car didn't have an airbag, I would feel more comfortable about an open face helmet.
