This is an academic race, not a spectator sport... they don't go that fast, and it's more like a science fair versus a fashion show at the giddy speeds averaging upto 120 km/h... One vehicle will out class it's competitors and simply 'own' the race.
Speaking as a person who has seen the racers silently slink by, I don't think that watching them crash would be very satisfying, some guy jumping out of a crumpled solar car and running around screaming "It burns... it burns!!!"... battery acid after all isn't as much fun as gasoline when it comes to spectacular crashes.
