Well? We are a concentrated group of extremely interested motorsports fans. Some of us even participate at various levels. I can think of no better group of fans to ask this question.
So what do we think? Will covering or partially covering the cockpit change our interest level in this types of car?
I'll offer my humble opinion. These kind of severe injury's and deaths DO effect my interest in the sport. They are taking drivers lives at a time when drivers NOT the cars should be the focus of fan interest. Just look at NASCAR. It's not the car that has made the series so popular.......... its the drivers. Like it or not. Drivers put fans in the seats.
Market the change to a cockpit shield fix as an attempt to protect your divers life. You the fans, hero's life.
Then just do it. Do it with the best engineering fix that can be produced with a fully committed research program. Everybody will need to put some money into the pot for this. F1, Indycar, the sponsors, car constructors, networks, everybody.
So what do you guys think? If this group can't form an opinion nobody can.
