My comment was more about the complete lack of rollover protection. I saw an old photo of a car much like that one, sitting upside down on a dirt track, flattened down to the main chassis. You could just barely see the driver's fingers sticking out the bottom, which just about made me ill. That said, there's an argument to be made against roll bars and cages for a car driven on the street. I get it, but still want a cage.

In the photos of the production (not the red 'prototype') chassis and bodywork, the head fairing appears to have been extended taller, but more importantly a functional roll hoop extending above it. I haven't seen the specs on it, but it at least meets the height and construction strength requirements for a British sanctioning body (MSA) for track day use.
