There are no regs about how it fastens as long as it does.

D ring or seat buckle style are fine. No open face/flip lids and it should have the (con) ACU gold sticker on it.

Just seen where Droylsden is. Not far from one of the best tracks in the UK. Oulton Park. I did my 1st TD there.

A seat-buckle type fastening is ok for trackdays and ACU sanctioned road or track racing events, as long as the helmet is ACU Gold stickered. It's only if you wish to race at an FIM sanctioned event that you will need a double-D ring strap fastener.

Flip lids are acceptable at some trackdays but only if they carry an ACU Gold sticker. I know, cos I've worn one at a trackday and was told by the company owner that as long as it was eligible to wear the sticker that was good enough for him.
