From my experience just as many slower drivers come off the track as do the faster ones. It's hard to say whether the severity is the same, although last year we saw some high-speed off-track excusions from some slower vehicles. If we incorporate tougher safety standards for faster vehicles, what would happen if a slower vehicle was involved in a serious accident.
I know the solution, just upgrade to a Daytona with full cage. No problems with roll cage spoiling it's beautiful lines, it's all hidden away inside. I know Harrison Daytona's are supplied standard with a half rollcage and optional full rollcage.
Another thing that should be raised, are GT40's any safer than Cobras. Most GT40's don't have any roll-over protection at all. And there isn't a lot of strength in the roof/doors. Mind you there isn't a lot of GT40's at the nationals.
