Much of the 'across the top' section seems to be ok to me on the basis that walls are close enough and close in angle to the racing line that you don't often get a big high-angle hit, with the exception of places like where Murphy crashed just before Reid Park (isn't there a lot of fresh air behind the fence there?) or the latter part of the Esses or the Dipper if you went straight on, which would need rock faces to be excavated. Then there is the issue of actual track width...

The across the top section is the biggest issue. You recall Webber's aerobatics last year? imagine that happening across the top. This is the exact reason open wheelers were banned from the joint in the first place. Have a wheel to wheel contact for whatever the reason and an open wheeler has a very high potential to need to ask for clearance to land as they will nearly always get airborne to some degree.
