I've needed SA rated helmets for track days, my local BMW Club chapter and another local organizer don't allow M rated helmets. I'd go with a full helmet, open face helmets have been allowed for events I've attended but I don't see the advantages given the reduced protection.
I need SA rated actually. I am going for open face since:
- my local BMW chapter allows them
- I am not planning on track racing convertibles
