rallycrossnl should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
'Proper' Bodywork won't do a thing to make it more safe, or they have to build a far larger and heavier tubular framework around it, which will bend on impact though. That would make them 2, 3 or more times more expensive and the weight would double at least too. To fit even an old style and size austin mini or fiat 500/800 silhouette body would require so much tube work it's rediculous. These things are a motorcycle engine, a seat, 4 wheels, 2 shocks, steering wheel, steering rack and a gastank. That's it. The bodywork now hasn't enough room to stick proper sized start numbers on them.
And I very much doubt that the FIA will chance a lot of the nowdays crosskarts technical specifications, they want the champs of some of the countries to be able to run.
