Which helmet standard for Mosport ?

redline2 · 08-07-2010, 05:10 PM

Anyone know if standard motorcycle helmets are ok for Mosport Track days or does it have to be a Kart or Automotive racing helmet? My helmet is from Shark and passes ECE/22-05 & DOT. As far as I can tell, automotive helmets must be made with fire retardant materials while motorcycle ones don't. The ECE standard is from Europe, accepted in 50 countries, etc. etc. but no clue as to fire specs.

Thanks.

Nothing on their web site that I was able to find. Will check with the organizers.

Appears to be quite a screwed up industry. Interesting article here:

Thanks for the link. Educational read

This was a funny quote:
