Not trying to be negative but one thing that occurs is the potential for more damage, thus cost. Touring cars are all nicely covered up by their shell. Roll a touring car and the shell protects everything else. Where as buggies have suspension components etc all outside the shell. If you've even rolled a buggy on tarmac at speed the effect is like attacking it with a sander. Shocks, towers, body shell etc can and are likely to all be ruined in just one roll.

Just my input, but you don't get that on a dirt, astro or carpet track.
I've snapped countless shock towers where it has 'dug in' on grass or astro, that wouldn't happen so its swings and round-abouts.

and as Nick said, if your worried, some lexan 'knee sliders' could be made-up
