I wrecked my sport bike at my track years ago, but that is considerably higher risk than being on 4 wheels. There were always multiple offs and usually 2-3 bikes went home unrideable, but able to be fixed. Had I been in a car, I would have easily recovered the situation.

During 4 wheel track days, I've seen 1 car put it in the tire wall? And it was cosmetic damage.

But my local track, Hallett, is a relatively tight, technical track with lots of runoff basically everywhere and when you run out of runoff.........tire barriers, not concrete.

As mentioned, nearly all of the issues I see at the track for vehicles are mechanical issues that come from the cars not being properly prepared. Or at least what I would consider the minimum level of prep necessary to drive the car at 9/10ths+ for a couple hours per day.
