Ignorance will get you everywhere.
So in other words, if you break a tie rod or your throttle hangs up you should try and avoid the centers of the turns. Hmmmm. Yeah. Good luck with that approach.
I am starting to see the logic in your answer though. Heck, fireproof driving suits can be uncomfortable and hot to wear so you should let the drivers just leave em off. Fires (like corner crashes) are few and far between anyways. I imagine you can require anybody who catches fire to do so somewhere close to where the firetruck parks.
And insurance. Who needs that stuff? You only need it once in a while so why pay all the time for it? I think ya'll are on to something here! Tell your carrier that you only want to insure the drivers who get hurt in crashes that happen on the straightaway. That will discourage people from crashing in the corners.
Sarcasm aside and just to be clear, placing tires anywhere around a race track is a bad idea. (A two-piece, stacked wall is another bad idea but what are ya gonna do) Race cars have raced on tracks with solid concrete walls, plywood fences, steel guardrails and in some places no walls at all. Cars crash and hit these walls, sometimes. It's an inherent part of racing. Why would you put something on the track that would help launch a race car up and over these walls and possibly into an area where people are standing or sitting? (Look at the pictures above and tell me how quick the fans could get out of the way)
Can't seem to find the logic in that kind of thinking.
