I am curious about the relative safety standpoints in replacing the front windscreen/windshield with a Poly or Plexiglass/Perspex. I know anything other than glass will scratch. Racecars use non glass and do have to meet safety issues. It is too late to change mine this time around as my replacement wndshield is already on order, but the next time I can see there is a considerable weight gain here. Also the Perspex replacement is much easier to swap oput than the stock glass and is cheaper too!
So are there safety aspects to consider if Perspex or Polycarboante are used ?
I am hoping someone here may know the answer to this question.

BTW I am also looking at a new product that will be coming out, it is like a clear Bra for the windshield. It takes considerable impacts without cracking the glass and has a hard enough coating to not scratch from the wipers.

that could be an interesting product if they have beaten the issue of how to bond to glass and not degrade optical quality. (although i guess for track a little degradation is not a real issue)
