Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2016 2:10 pm
Hi all and yes I'm going to ask for clarification on this ruling and yes I have left a message for Bob to give me a call
Yes I need to get a new helmet
Below it states that Competitors are encouraged to upgrade to the now available Snell SA2010 (FIA 8860-2010), Snell SAH2010 or FIA 8860-2010 standard helmets.
By reading this I can get a FIA approved helmet?. Problem is as per below it also states that All cars and motorcycle streamliners require SA rated helmets
Is this saying that I must have a snell rated helmet.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN.
