With proper design they will stand up just fine. Not talking Colin Chapman explode on impact theory here.
Submit them to crash tests, if they fail they don't get to race, simple.

CART and the INDY of old were successful because they presented variety and close racing. Now the manufacturers are trying to buy succcess by capturing the series completely, and few are interested in the result.
What happens when Honda decide the investment is no longer worth it and pull the plug?

F1 at least has more than one string to its bow, with multiple manufacturers and engine suppliers and Cosworth who they brought to the table as a backup position. Even formula ford has at least multiple chassis manufacturers.
