In a car, like a TC that's hitting the boards or being t-boned down the straight, or an off road car that's jumping and landing several times a lap or crashing off jumps soft cases can be quite a risk, which is why the BRCA and most clubs don't allow them.

If you personally are just bashing or are happy to take the risk it's up to you.

HTH,
