As "Biscuit" said, I'm a rubbernecker too. The problem is that most
people are rubberneckers. If you could put the car in a garage and limit
access to drivers and crew, I agree that it would be good for everone to see
it. Drivers would get a sobering reminder of what's at stake out there and
we would all get to evaluate the performance of the safety gear. Left
uncovered in an open paddock, we would have to elbow our way past the crowd
of ghouls that are only interested in whether the seat is covered in blood
and don't care about inspecting the integrity of the roll cage.
