Have a simulator that can give some idea of impacts at slower speeds then get them to work it out at more realistic speeds.

Get some onto track and show how easy it is to loose control, especially in the wet/icy/dirt/rough road. Especially in the sort of car they are likely to own/drive.
Ah but you see these drivers are perfect and don't need any of that guff. Even at 100mph plus they can see black ice, diesel spills, sharp objects on the road and the like. Their senses are honed to expect the unexpected and can even predict freak events like blowouts secure in the knowledge that their superior driving skills will always see them out of trouble. Frankly I'm surprised that drivers as good as these guys must be ever get involved in serious accidents at all but I expect it's all the fault of everyone else on the roads....
