takahashi, whilst I definitely 100% believe a race track is A LOT safer, the lack of insurance coverage is probably scarring some people off. If the unfortunate happens on a cruise, you have insurance to protect you. On a race track......nothing.
I'm happy to live with that with a racecar as one, it is designed to withstand crashes with minimal damage, and two is designed to be repaired more easily. eg. slamming sideways at 75km/h into the armco at Sandown cost $3000 to repair. In a road car, that would also be write-off stuff if the b-pillar got bent.
So I will take my 135i onto a race track, but I will do so very selectively based on track and event. Ironically number 1 on my do not visit with a road car is Sandown. Albert Park GP circuit has heaps more room at critical points, and for a "road" circuit that is saying a lot.
My 2-cents worth.
