IndyCar driver Justin Wilson dies

[thstone]

We had a discussion about the dangers of open cockpit Indycar racing back in 2011 when Dan Wheldon was killed at Las Vegas.

I said that it was only a matter of time until something happened again and suggested that Indycar could have adopted a more modern prototype configuration at that time and moved the sport into the 21st Century.

I don't understand the refusal to use a windshield and a roof.
