Ok, that is not what I had inferred from your previous comments.
I have thought (as an outsider only) that in general the drivers have healthy respect for the machinery, and the level of incidents is much less than TCM or Grp N, although there have been a few big accidents eg PI start line a couple of years ago. However these are still production based cars so quite repairable as said incident demonstrated.
On the valuable front, in the UK/Europe you have anything up to Ferrari 250 GTO's being raced etc. Even a few years back Des Wall raced Pete Geoghegan's 67 Mustang at the 12HR supports, which ranks as one of my all-time motorsport highlights.
