POD: Any time after 1900, say the first major auto racing wreck.

Challenge: introduce better tech & design ASAP. That means seat belts, crush zones, fuel cells, but also (frex) getting rid of the yumps at the 'Ring,:eek: & the trees trackside there,:eek::eek: & hay bales as barriers.:confounded:

It means early introduction of hard helmets, HANS devices, & soft walls. It means track marshalls with fire extinguishers. It means firesuits.

So: when can any given tech be introduced? Who'd demand it? Who'd develop it? And who'd introduce it?

Outright bans of formulae (like Group C or AA/FA) are out of bounds; indeed, if you can save AA/FA & still be safer...:cool::cool: Avoiding the NHRA nitro ban would be good, too.:cool:

What do you say, racing fans?
