My question was, how hard would you have to hit a tree before you are fucked in the drivers door. I'm assuming that is the worst spot to hit a tree with a car.

As hard as hitting it on the wrong angle or at the wrong speed or having a branch break off, because you hit it and it came through the window straight into your noggin.

To simplify it, there is no straight forward answer

It's really dangerous but I've got a great idea that will make it completely safe for you. You buy the car and I'll drive it for you.

How are you going to do this?
Both of our separate countries dont allow imports (people) at the moment.

You are probably over thinking it. The ones who die are the guys out there trying to set land speed records... So when you do get out there, don't pretend you have suddenly become Ayrton Senna and drive within your limits.
I did a few laps in one of those V8 experience race cars. The thing that surprised me the most was how easy it is to feel where the cars and my limits were.

Is there some sort of statistics for deaths and serious injuries say for the WRC in Australia over the last 20 years?

I've always dreamed of buying land with a massive dirt area and buying a 1000 witches hats and making courses.

So if you are considering this, why would you be asking about trees, injuries/deaths etc etc.....

It's not WRC deaths you have to be concerned about...There are deaths reported on private land every month or so......You've just got to ask yourself, do you want to be one of them? What can I do to try and prevent being one of them? And unfortunately the only simple answer as to not being one of them is can the idea of doing this
