Helmets (motorcycle vs auto) for most tracks - Toyota Yaris Forums

From a physical point, most auto racing helmets are thicker and heavier to take multiple impacts from inside the car. A motorcycle helmet is designed to take one hit and is usually lighter.

You also have to take into account the aerodynamics of what you're getting if you'll be using it on a bike. Venting and a WORKING front visor vent to de-fog is essential.
