At the Essex Winter Series (UK's largest indoor Touring Car series), we've now reverted to using masking tape for holding the carpet down.
The problem we encountered with gaffa tape (and we must have tried about 10 different types!) was that once one car catches it, it starts to lift, then creates at worst a bump/apparent traction roll for everyone, or worst a gap in the taping!
With masking tape, it's much thinner so there appears to be less chance of catching it in the first place, and then if anyone does catch it, it just rips rather than rolling over and allowing other cars to catch. We've had a huge reduction in the number of issues since switching to masking tape again.
