Actually the cars are very safe. unlike your passanger car, each one features a full roll cage, have a fire extinguiser, 5 point harness. and riders must beable to exit the care in only a few seconds. Most of the cars feature a full telemtrics system. IN short they are far safer than anything you will ever ride in.
Additionaly all vechicals are supported by their teams. This includes lead and chase cars with yellow warning lights, and onboard emergency members, which are more than cappable of dealing with all but emergency medical situations. a circle track race isnt the same kind of engineering challenge. (yes they do do circle track races with these solar cars) These cars have to prove their abilities on roads whith varring terrain, weather conditions, enviroments, and physical properties.
Plus lets face it, road races are more entertaining for te public, who line the roads when the cars go through.
