Also further R&D in making F1 helmets safer. In the military they have Kevlar suits that shields agains small mines and gernades. Why not use that technology there if it is not yet used?

Not sure that touring cars (or anything enclosed) have AC, and they seem to be fine ventilation wise - remember there is a 60->190mph airstream for all you aircon needs.
The helmets are even now very impressive (Already use carbon kevlar I believe
http://www.formula1.com/inside_f1/sa...hing/7438.html), but the point of the canopy is to deflect debris before it hits the helmet, thus avoiding broken necks. If you are hit on the head by a wheel doing 100mph, I'm not sure any sort of helmet is going to help.
