I'm definetly wearing a helmet now because I think I lose the perspective of the fact I'm doing 100mph round corners without it, with it on it seems to make me more aware that if I mess it up it can go wrong very quickly so I go easier.

Fair enough. To have a decent cage installed you are looking at well over 1k though, as show cages are meant to do more harm than good

Last 3 or 4 years worn a crash helmet at the ring when driving etc as to many risks especially in caged cars not to wear one

Maybe if you have a common car My mate just paid well over that for his Astra VXR one.
I've only just realised what the dots are now for the apex, I've spent many a lap looking for these dots, I thought they were more obvious than that
