Not sure if I said this somewhere else already but a friend of mine went to buy a helmet for use with a speedway car. He assumed he needed a Bell. He was advised that once the helmet contains a recognised safety standard that's it. Other helmets may be quieter, they may be more comfortable, you may prefer to pay for a fancy name, or for a fancy paint job, but the extra cash really doesn't buy any additional safety.
In consequence he bought a more modestly priced helmet and a second-hand flame proof driving suit for similar money to what he would have paid for just the Bell.
