in the event of a crash in a car with airbags. when racing you sit so close to the wheel a closed is preferable so doesnt cause such an impact to your face. Also you drive with windows open and very often you have stuff flying into the car, small rocks, chunks of rubber, that can and will hit you in the face. last thing you want is getting hit in the eye with something causing a crash. you can do either i also just prefer closed. open face is for entry level, and a cheap option usually for most that soon gets replaced. Hans compatibilty is also a concern for some.
