Graham is right,

I think if given the option, a real racer would choose a car that has less safety features but will be a winner, rather than an identical car that has more safety features but will never get onto the podium because it is burdened down by extra weight! That is the nature of a real racer, winning is all...... and many sacrifices involving money, time, relationships and risk are all made to achieve that.
