About Indianapolis 500 Car Races?

Question

In nascar the driver are fully 100 % inside a car. In the Indianapolis 500 Car Races thier heads are out in the open. So what if thiers a major car crash and the car flips. Is thier any protection ?

Answer 1

Just the helmet and if you notice the head rest is extra tall usually 6 inches to a foot higher than their head.

Answer 2

the way that the car is made there head is lower than some of the car. so when they flip there is a little protection because the car hits the ground first. Now i don't know if there is more leg room so they scoot down in the event of a wreck so that may be there too

Answer 3

there head is inside , and not covered its not when they flip and hit the ground , and car up side down, there head will make severe conact with the ground the , helmet will help but not that much

Answer 4

Their head is below the cockpit and they are cocooned inside.  The air intake on the top of the car avoids the head touching ground as well.
