Not speaking Japanese, I can't read the text on the diagram of the FCJ design, but that thing in front of the driver designed to be there for debris hitting drivers or another reason? I don't see why plane-style canopies would be unduly expensive in single seater racing, visually they would be a change but I think that's a price worth paying. I don't see any reason why it would be insurmountably difficult to make it possible to remove in a crash (for example, there are cars with gullwing doors racing, and they have buttons to release the doors).
