According to section 3.A.2 (on page 27), Snell SA2020 helmets will NOT be legal for use in 2021.

I didn't see where it said the Snell SA2020 was not legal but I did see where the SA2010 will expire on January 1st 2022.

My guess is an oversite on the 2020 helmet.

Well, what it actually says is:   "All drivers shall wear a full-face helmet with face shield bearing a Snell Foundation tag reading Snell SA2010 (FIA 8860-2009)  or Snell SA 2015 (FIA 8860-2015)."   The failure to include SA2020's would certainly appear to be an oversight, but it says what it says.   I sent a text to Kiwi Steve about it, and assume the problem will be addressed somehow.

The way that rule is worded it sounds like the face shield is what is required to have the tag.

That's right!  That's what it said.  That's what you get in a volunteer organization.  Been the same for decades.  Get what you pay for.  They'll fix it for next year if you bring it to their attention.

  Is it me or... the last few posts seemed a bit strange. I read the words ONE-HANDEDLY and had an immediate flashback to my youth :roll:
