I am indeed from the Netherlands.

I am not sure where to get motorsport gear in Belgium. Have a look at the sites of Arai, Bell, Sparco and the others to find a local distributor.

A racingcar doesn't have an airbag, and I always (have to) wear a helmet when on a racetrack. Nevertheless: airbag or not, I would always wear a fullface and I wouldn't know why it shouldn't be allowed.
