Edit to add: you also need a lot more than multi axis simulators for acceleration. A centrifuge providing multiple Gs, for example, is a very different feeling from from being tilted backwards in a simulator.
If risk was the point, people wouldn't be expending so much effort to make racing safer.
And trust me, most drivers do not have a death wish. It is all about figuring out how to learn to drive as close to limits of traction as possible without crossing it.
I appreciate people trying to make it safer, but if they ever make it safe I’ll probably take up bullfighting.
