Many race saloon cars (certainly in the classic Mini 7 & Miglias) are allowed to swap doors, boot, bonnet and glass for lightweight materials like carbonfibre, glassfibre & perspex which tends to fly off in a crash but they do of course have the benefit of full weld in roll cages!
Heres another just as spectacular MINI roll over:-

Holly *****. The commentary is in German. It says the accident happened at about 200 km/h. The driver was not seriously injured and got out of the car himself after this 8x rollover!
