When I was at the 2-day M-School this past Oct. the instructors said that wearing a helmet with their vehicles was less safe than without.
This is correct, the BMW Driving Experience in Germany doesn't require helmets. The prototypes vehicles driving around don't have airbags installed when the driver is wearing a helmet. My gut feeling is when the PC did the Nuremberg event recently, they were told of the safety issues of using helmets in vehicles with airbags.
