What happened to the rule we had once upon a time that you had to race with the drivers side window wound down, in the event of an accident where the drivers door couldn't be opened, the driver could still climb (or be pulled) out?
This is what led to Peter Brock running a window net in the mid-70s |

I know of an MG racer who uses speedway style arm restraints on the theory that it will keep him tucked in nicely inside the car if he ever has "the big one". |

I remember a VW Poto Cup race at the Norisring in Germany,
where during a accident, the driver's arm and leg were out of the window. |
