two years ago they insisted on helmets for all drivers, where as previously they didn't require them.

It might pass regs, but I woudlnt trust my life to it. Mine was over £300, and is still classed as a cheapy helmet. |

at the pod they have a similar rule, any car that might exceed 100mph terminal needs a helmet. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

The only probs with bike lids these days is they are not kite marked with Type "A" on them like is needed for "real" motorsport, by real i mean hillclimb, srint and circuit racing.

In my opinion, if you just need a helmet for Avon Park, any will do the job, as the likelihood of you managing to have a serious accident in a straight line are pretty slim.
