A fascinating concept, but I don't think it would turn out the way you seem
to suspect. Having no rules is called "anarchy". Having rules but not
enforcing them is called "NASCAR". Failing to have enforceable rules against
repeated metal-to-metal contact is called the "SCCA".

Not "most drivers", but there are clearly a few who do "really stupid
things" because they're actually "really stupid". Or lacking in ability. Or
way over their heads. There are also some who can easily afford the cost of
body work on a regular basis. Without rules, the stupid, the untalented and
the wealthy would drive all the rest of us out of vintage racing in short
order.
