I wonder if there is any circuit (non-oval) where an F1 car and an Indy car might have close lap times?
Says a lot when they name their car lola.

That honestly looks like crap... I'd stop watching it if it went that idiotic.
Also, I'm sure some brilliant engineers could come up with some lightweight, strong composite that could be used for the canopy that comes off as easily as those little things that drivers have to take out now before they get out of the car.
They could probably also rig up some system that blows the top off in a crash or something.
Blowing the top off the car might work; the SLS has explosives to blow the doors off if it ever flips.

Didn't work the first time a racing SLS got barrel-rolled and landed on its roof.
Like....in a real life situation or during testing? Because lawsuit.
How would that help if the car is on the roof? Plus if a driver is injured (maybe a broken bone), the last thing he wants is to do is to be ejected from his seat since the any kind of excessive force can further injure the driver.They should bring ejection seats into LeMans.

Also an ejector seats system would add weight to the car, which will slow the cars down and consume more fuel.
