They should all be marked up road safe. Cant remember what the markings are offhand tho.
I just bought a motorbike helmet from a helmet seller on ebay.
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one PepsiFar from suicidalStill I get them tendenciesBringing back them memories
That I really miss when I reminisce
A lot of rally helmets going cheap ATM as their standard is being withdrawn for rallying at the end of the yr but perfectly good for trackdays
i like the open face ones myself.
can get them for pretty cheap :

if you want something more safety approved, youll have to spend a bit more tho.
second hand ones are good value, but trying to find one in your size might be tricky

Get down to a biker shop and spend £30+ on a helmet with a Gold sticker on the back, will be perfectly adequate for trackdays.
I wouldn't use a bike helmet in a car, different impact zone protection
But thats upto the user i guess,
If you buy a cheap helmet i guess your not that fussed if you **** your head up.
I have a bike helmet for my bike and a rally helmet for my car, both cost around 300 each,
I spent 2 days in hospital after an atv accident with concussion and memory loss, my bsi gold stamped helmet was crackedin the accident. Helmet's are not indestructible so buy something decent.
22 years on and I still can not remember what happened that day or even being in hospital or how i got there, without my bell helmet i most likely would be severely fcuked if not dead.
success is only limited by a weak mind
Personally I would opt for an open face type with the peak left off, odd looking to some but a 'STIG' style full-face with visor isnt gonna help peripheral vision.
