Race cars have drastically more safety features than road cars. Your road car doesn't tether your helmet to your headrest to protect your neck and doesn't have a roll cage, for starters.
Road cars also don't have built-in fire extinguishers, tethers to keep wheels attached to the car in the event of a catastrophic failure of the suspension, five point harnesses for the drivers, escape hatches in the roof or no roof at all but a halo and bar in front of the driver to protect them in the event the car hits something that could decapitate the driver, break away body panels and impact absorbent foam that dissipates energy in 200+ MPH crashes generally allowing drivers to walk away from impacts that would kill occupants of road-going vehicles...
I could go on, but yeah, not sure how OP thinks that race cars aren't as safe as road cars.
