dont need a full face for a car unless you have a kitcar etc .. or if you want a pass lap in one .. ive done a trackday in open and full face and much prefer the openface one.

think what your going to need it for....
If you are going to do any sort of MSA event, or any competative event at all really it has to have the correct stickers/markings (to meet regs) - none of the cheapies will have these, and motorbike helmets are NOT allowed (different standards)
If its just for trackdays, with no future seen for competative use, a cheapo will do...... or motorbike one
You can prob get a basic helmet that meets current MSA regs for about £200

To to a GPR shop at silverstone and try them on and find one that fits and is comfy.
That's what I done and found the one I was going to buy I didn't like and went for another one.

certainly better going to a shop, at least you get to browse and try them on first.
