I am totaly new to this, soprobably this question will sound funny:)

Are there are differences between moto and car helmets, can i use motobike helmet for car track day?

for example would this one be enough?

Motonet sorry it is in finnish but there is a good picture there.

thanks!

I've always used motorbike helmets on track days, as I'm a biker myself.

I've never had any issues with the organisers - often a new clean bike helmet is most likely safer than a hired one on the day

Although personally, I'd go for an open faced one. Full face helmets will keep you a bit too warm in the heat of the moment

edit: moved to track day section

Thanks for an aswer!

But otherwise the one on the picture is good enough isn't it?

I picked up the Sparco pro Jet from rallynuts, which has a nomex lining and is BS and FIA Approved should you think of taking it more seriously.

Do not want to spend a few hundred euros just yet. the one on the picture is only 49euros:) sowanted to start with this one:)

Can you put a price on your head???

well i am willing to take some risks for now:) I think that one should also offer some protection.

So i guess this one is ok then for a start?

Motonet

next one will be sparco.

i've got one of those helmets , very good for the price , used to have a Bell mag4 when i did sprints , sold it to my mate when i stopped , glad i did , as its now out of date for MSA events:(

Some update. Bought the helmet, as some said the closed faces one gets quite hot aftera few laps but not as bad as i have expected:)

Just came back from the track, and skoda drives quite ok, but a bit to soft for a track! Bridgestone Potenza what i have now on are quite crapy! Feels like you are riding on a jelly. So i gueass Toyos are a must. Break also seemed quite weak and faded quite fast. But power was plantly, actually i have some changes that brought it up to 248bph. So an Ok track car but i wonder how long would it last, it did not smell so good at the end:)

I have a Peltor full face.

I prefer full face as if you do stuff it badly it prevents glass shards hitting your face (been there, done that!).

I use a motobike helmet, but my old Kiwi disitegrated last week. I have just aquired a brand new Shark Butterfly which looks a bit gay but it's a really good helmet.
