In place of fuses, it is probably a good idea to use aircraft circuit
breakers that can be reset by just pushing them in.  They are very
tolerant to heat and vibration.

I could be all wet, but I wouldn't think you'd want fuses in a race car
except
maybe for non-essentials like lights.  Seems to me replacing a wire or
even the
whole harness after the race would be better than having a DNF because a
fuse
let go.  Fuses don't like heat and vibration, which seem to be found in
abundance in most race cars.
