I don't really care whether the plastic is there or not but your argument is heavily flawed.

"However, we cannot quantify those matters........ but you COULD quantify the 'improvements' given by the plastic.... just produce ANY statistics which show the INCREASED resistence to overturning given by the plastics......"

Produce any statistics that say they don't improve matters. As opposed to you view at a few circuits in the UK.

"You are also attempting to compare the early 1960s karts with karts of the 2000s (plus). The karts which you SHOULD be comparing are those which DID have full length nerf bars (which the 1960s karts in the video DID NOT!) which were the ones which immedtaietly preceded the plastic TRASH we now see. Those final Nerf Bars gave MASSIVELY more towards the reductions in overturning than did the plastic trash that REPLACED them."

So we can't compare 60s karts with modern day, but we can early 90's with modern.

Come to think of it, I can't remember reading anywhere that the plastic is supposed to reduce the chance of roll over. However I can safely say that I'm glad I got hit in the back while rolling around on the track at dunkeswell by a plastic bumper rather then a nerf bar.
