Another question, in motorcycle racing and track days, the norm is to go with the best protection one can afford - full one piece race suits, helmets, boots, gloves, body armor, and, lately, air bag vests. I'm seeing that most track day providers list most protective gear as optional other than a helmet. This is a big departure from what I'm accustomed to. Do those here that track their cars regularly find that most people still wear suits, shoes, gloves, neck support, etc?

Thanks and cheers!

Some wear full race gear, some not. Depends on what's required by track/sanctioning body. Most don't require much beyond a helmet though
rules may state "no shorts or short sleeves". Most do wear gloves of some kind because of sweat and I wear my driving shoes for pedal feel.

I have a Bell M4. Nice helmet but nothing really fancy. Bell makes the Bell Star that has a retro look in a modern helmet. It's nice but a little more expensive than my M4. Just needs to have a current SA rating.
