Just a reminder in case some people are not aware that non road classes will now need to wear a balaclava in Speed events.
Personally, the small extra cost for something that will last many years is no great expense. Apart from the safety aspect in helps geep the helmet fresh and clean :D

Here's the regulation, just in case you've not seen it!

Gloves & Balaclavas:


NCR Ch14, App2, Art4.3. Competitors are required to wear flame-resistant gloves (see Ch.9 Art.12.6) with the exception of Standard Cars and Road Cars, where their use is recommended.
The use of a flame-resistant balaclava (Ch.9 Art.12.3) is mandatory with the exception of open bodywork Period Defined Vehicles (Non-Rally) A-D, Standard Cars and Road Cars where their use is recommended.
For all categories, the wearing of flame-resistant socks (Ch.9 Art.12.4) and underwear (Ch.9 Art.12.2) is strongly recommended.

Don't get caught out at your first event because you didn't check to see if you are affected!
