I am writing a feature about spectator safety at UK motorsport events for my journalism degree, inspired by this recent incident:
I'd be really grateful if some of you could take a couple of minutes to answer a few brief questions:
1. When attending any motorsport event (track, rally, etc) do you feel adequately protected as a spectator?
2. What more measures do you think could be taken to further protect spectators from on-track incidents?
3. Would further safety measures spoil your enjoyment of watching the racing?
4. Is it a good thing that motorsport has a reputation for danger, even for spectators? Is that part of the attraction?
5. Have you ever been injured yourself, or witnessed someone else being injured, at a motorsport event? If so, what happened and how did you feel?
If you happen to have any pictures that you have taken of any incidents like this and you wouldn't mind me using them (I will credit you as the owner of them) that would also be a great help.
Thanks.
