Default Full-face or Open-face helmet?

For track use 3-4 times a year? What do you use/prefer?

Thanks, Chris.

Some clubs won't allow full-face with airbags in your car. You should check the groups by-laws.

Default I think that has been debunked, but that doesn't mean the rules have changed.

I have an open face. It's nice enough.

My next one will be full face.

Some do and some don't still. I agree though with you 100% that it is debunked.

I wouldn't want to race a car in a full face unless I had to. Bad enough on the bike
