If a windshield can keep a delaminated tire or loose piece of bodywork out of my face I'm keeping it.

Bingo.
Also hot exploding fluids from a blown engine, smoke from other cars, etc.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Only in drifting would "race cars" run with not windshield, loose handing body parts, batteries just flopping around and tires with belts showing.
People would shit fucking bricks if you went to a real event. We had to bring inspection report from a pre-approved shop stating the track worthiness of the Porsche. We had to go through a full 4 person 15 minute inspection and log review, and they even took brake pad measurements, harness MFG date inspection and reviewed the tire heat-cycle log.
