Some race tracks will use "The Broomstick Test". Meaning a broomstick resting on the roll bar must extend to the next body part capable of supporting the weight of the vehicle, and the driver's helmet cannot touch the stick. I most vehicles the top of the windshield is that next available body part - but in our cars the windshield would collapse - so the next body part if the front fender. So, the stick goes from the roll bar to the front fender and you wearing your helmet cannot touch the stick.
