• There's the roof, and there's the non-airbag wheel+inertia reel seatbelts.

    I very much doubt I'm going to race in future, and if I do then I can cross that bridge then.

    In order to fit in I have to write "Hammet, AB+" on the back of the helmet, correct?

    Not on that type of helmet. That's only if you've got full-on personalised kit - suit, gloves, carbon helmet with custom paint job - with your own vanity 'team' name on it, an eye-wateringly expensive special edition street racer (think Ferrari Scuderia, GT3RS etc) and absolutely no ability to drive quickly whatsoever.

    This species of trackdayist is often seen at RMA track days, particularly at Spa, where the favoured driving style is full beans down the straights, brake early and gently as soon as a corner is spotted, and then take all the bendy bits at a brisk walking pace. Do that for 10 minutes, then come into the pits, pose in your customised race gear for selfies you can post on your wide range of exquisitely-currated social media streams.

    If you're driving an overpowered hairdresser's car, however, no-one cares about your blood type.
