You could, but then who is monitoring it. How does the data about an incident relate to this data, etc. It is a can of worms. Even if you used the extant timing loops and fiber network you need a guy to be responsible for it and some systems in place to administrate it. Ideally a system that has all the inputs and automatically flags a breach. Processes need to be created and followed. Barest minimum about $300k a year just to operate it without putting any sensors in cars or any new track infrastructure. You also need a signaling system so you need lights around the track as well so drivers know when they go back off code.
The euro system uses GPS monitoring, with specific transponders in each car and a logging and monitoring system on the backend, plus signs and lights on the track.
