Keep in mind those 70 cars taking the green flag are almost all within a half second a lap of the cars in front of and behind them. That makes for some really close, exciting racing. It also makes contact much more likely.
RE: "near-disposable" race cars, they all are, even a brand new GT3 RSR. Bad things happen, sometimes they are someone's fault, sometimes just bad luck. The saying "Don't take a car on track you wouldn't be willing to push off a cliff" applies doubly to wheel to wheel racing.
