If you are on the USA side of the pond, why wouldn't you go with a helmet that was manufactured in the USA, is made by a company with a very long history of producing helmets worn by race winners and produces the lightest motorcycle helmet, by a significant margin, of the six that obtained the highest SMART ratings in every category, the Bell M4R carbon? I am sure one of the old-time Bell workers could pass some of his magic that could help you be a champion. On the other hand, more race experience and a faster machine would likely do a better job.
