For me - I can totally see where people are coming from when they talk about not wanting a "random" factor being integrated. And I actually 99% agree with everything the "anti-crashers" are saying.
However.. And here's where most people would disagree with me...
If you let your tyres over heat for too long... Crash!
If you tell your driver to push too hard for too long... Crash!
If you go off to make a cup of tea for 10 minutes and you forget to tell your driver to ease off... Crash!
That way you have no one to blame but yourself. It's not random. It's still skill. It might not bring too much to the game, but I think personally it would be a nice feature. Like Banter Prix said, it gives the game some spice - but I can also understand that some people like bland food - and that's fine too!

Nobody could have spoken better!
