Rep Power: 0  |  Helmet I seen in one of the previews on the test track. There wearing..... HELMETS Helmets are great, They protect your head from L-platers. But in a show like Top Gear they should only wear them when absolute required. This doesn't include shooting a review on the test track (From What I seen in the previews) They've wuzzed out to the insurance companies in Australia, production company and track owners safety requirement.

Car: '95 BMW 530i, '85 Nissan Bluebird S3 GXE Rep Power: 26   | Pizzati was only wearing one when he was drifting that CLS AMG around like a mad man. That's probably down to habit for him anyway.

Car: VE SS-V, AH Astra Turbo, HG Prem 500hp Rep Power: 5 | Come on, nothing wrong with wearing a helmet if they are going to do some extra-spirited driving. Theres a difference between wussing out and taking some extra precautions. If its open face, then what ill effect does it have on the show? none. |

Car: 1998 Subaru Legacy 2.5L Rep Power: 39 | I hope it was just out of habit rather than the shows insurance company saying "YOUR PRESENTERS MUST WEAR HELMETS". It looks better just seeing them more natural looking behind the wheel. Although they are an ugly bunch  |

Car: Ford Focus LX Rep Power: 19 | Do we seriously think that the insurers will insist on helmets but don't have any problem with trying to feed a sausage-clad Warren Brown to sharks?
