Hmm, well that may rule mine and any other bike helmet out

Look for a gold sticker on the back of the helmet - think that meets the standard.

Could be wrong tho'

You are.
Gold sticker is not MSA approved.

So MSA Approved is what? A specific sticker saying 'MSA Approved'?

BS blue sticker or a SNELL sticker.

on demon tweaks, thats a minimum £200

What are these guys on? We have roll-bars

You can actually get a BS approved helmet for £80 but it's finding somewhere up here that has them to try on that's difficult. With only 1 circuit there's not a huge market for them.

I had to get one of these last year to use with the BM in some the Autocross events last year before it died....PITA

I'm suprised they are enforcing this if they aren't MSA approved???

Bizarre

this pdf has the details on page 238 onwards

I suspect they won't check helmet specs unless you ask
