Title: The new C5 helmet?
Post by: thedesigntailor on 25, June, 2012 - 16:14:11

I love this idea of a helmet you can use as an indicator and brake light too.
Not sure on the way it's operated but good idea all the same

Just a Cadet, mostly at Matchams near Ringwood. Not sure if it's still going but was a great track in the forests.

Did/do you kart?

Yes I did kart. My home track was Rye House, but I raced at others as well, as far north as Wombwell. I had 100's , 210's, 250's and when I went back to karting in '98 tried a season of Pro-karts but found them  unresponsive and expensive to operate for what they were so reverted to sports cars instead.
