You will need to bring your own helmet Marko, they are not available for hire there.

And what Pads should I upgrade to on my Standard LE discs? Last year I used yellow stuff pads on standard LE Drilled Discs and they worked a treat. I also changed my brake fluid to halfords 5.1

The answer is no, so one helmet will be sufficient.

OK got my Spa Tickets, got my Eurotunnel tickets, got my Hotel in Belgium, got my Helmet today.
Helmet is V tight inside car and I hit the roof when on undulations so not good. If only the Steering Wheel extended a bit more i could get it a bit more comfortable. I need a Helmet about >3 ml smaller and I'd get comfortable.
So does any body know of different helmet type/brand that has small circumference for use in-car.
Or is there a clever easy way of lowering the seat?

Have you tried reclining the seat back a bit more than usual?

Lego do you have the sunroof version???
If so i cant drive them without a helmet on let alone with one.
You have to slide the seat all the way back and put your derriere further forward on the seat.

no sunroof. I can put the backrest back which gives me more headroom but I can't drive comfortably as my arms are at full stretch. Going forward (with backrest back)doesnt help as my legs are too long. There must be a smaller outersize helmet but nobody mentions that in descriptions

Darlo Nicks pal Johhny squeezed into Nicks coupe. And he is a big lad. At 6"3 I can squeeze in with helmet but it's uncomfortable and I don't want to drive Spa that way if at all possible. I had same problem when I drove a Sierra Cosworth a few years back with Helmet on and it wasn't enjoyable as it put strain on my neck. It so frustrating as another few millimetres and it would be fine.

Im 6ft2 and 18 (Cough) stone and find the LE seats go further back which your helmet fits nice into the pitch of the roof. My helmet is quite loose so it might be if yours is tight its not locating on the melon fully.
Failing that maybe a bucket seat will perhaps lower the height a little.

Last year the insurers said that we did have to wear gloves, although this year the policy states that "(e) helmets and appropriate protective clothing are worn by all participants during any insured Activity"
Last year I took a pair of light leather gloves to wear on track.
The scrutineers on the circuit only check that participants are wearing crash helmets.

Just thought i would mention in case anyone is considering the cover we are able to offer Track Day Insurance. The policy would provide Accidental Damage Cover Only for the vehicle whilst on the track, subject to an excess based on 10% of the vehicle value, £1,000 minimum excess.
If a quotation is required please do not hesitate to contact us via PM, email or telephone with the following information:-
Name Address Contact Number Contact email Date Of Birth Car details: model, registration number and value Additional Driver: name, date of birth
Once I have this information I can obtain a quotation for you from the relevant insurers.
Thanks
Sarah
