Actually; In the past I used to wear a helmet on tourist drives also. I stopped doing this after I did some research and talked with some regular TF ring drivers. Now I only wear a helmet on track days (were it is also mandatory). Do some research and you will come to the same conclusion as me. Also look at frequent Nurburgring drivers (and instructors) like Misha Charoudin & Robert Mitchell and why they don't wear helmets on Tourist Days on Nürburgring. Robert even made a YT video about it at one point I think.
I don't know if you are aware but on the ring (tourist drives) you can not wear a helmet with a HANS system (it's forbidden). Wearing a normal helmet without a HANS system can do more damage to your boddy/neck on impact then wearing no helmet at all. This is of course in a street car without a roll cage or interior track modifications. The impact systems (airbags, etc) of a street car are designed to protect drivers not wearing a helmet and wearing the normal 3 point seatbelt...wearing a helmet can make these systems work (protect) less efficient then designed and have the risk to put even bigger damage on your neck with a big impact. If you are indeed driving a stripped out race car with no airbags and a roll cage that can damage your head, then yes indeed wear a helmet (with a HANS system) always when you are driving this kind of race car...but then you also need a 6 point harness to make it real safe.
Also; only use a 6 point harness if you have all of the following things listed: A roll cage; a HANS device, and a helmet. The problem with using the harness, HANS and helmet (even if it was allowed), is that if the car rolls, and the roof gets a hard impact (with no roll cage) then you will be stuck in your locked in position and your head/body will be crushed. With the standard 3 point seatbelt your head/body is more free to move around.
Hope this explains it more clearly why I don't wear a helmet on public tourist days on Nürburgring and that it also brings some awareness to people that normal helmets (without HANS system) are not the safest thing in the world (for your neck) in a normal street car. The neck is the weakest part of the body, protect it. I'd rather hit my head than break my neck.

Makes sense, and I agree with some of your points, although some others are still debatable in my opinion.Franzino a écrit : ↑21-juin-2021 00:12Actually; In the past I used to wear a helmet on tourist drives also.

Thanks anyway for taking the time to explain !

Again the reason why I don’t wear a helmet (without HANS) on Touristenfahrten anymore (15.30min):
