This, you could spend £2k on a carbon fibre dog-danglies helmet, but if it doesn't fit your head as well as that £30 one you got off ebay, it's likely to do more harm than good. Tight, secure fit is everything with a helmet.
Saying that, if anyone wants a cheap helmet just for trackdays, I do have a few good quality bike helmets in the attic which have never been dropped or knocked, they were just replaced every few years with shinier ones. IIRC 2 of them have the flip up front chins on them so you can use them as open face as well as closed.
