The music sucks but I would have been the happiest boy with one of this when I was little.

I would almost wager that most people don't like being passengers in race cars, honestly. Especially if they're going overly fast. Simply because, done right, the car is on the edge as it is, but the passenger is completely out of control.
I recall an anecdote when a friend of mine went to a Bondurant, and one of the instructors took him for a lap in, like, a Taurus. Just to demonstrate what a car can do.
Scare the heck out of him.
It's really different when you're driving vs hanging on for dear life.

Those videos are like parking lot stunt shows, you've see one you've seen them all.
When I worked in auto racing many years ago, I got to ride along on a victory lap in a Sports 2000 which is an open cockpit sports racing car with a two liter Ford engine. I'm trying to remember if it was a Lola or Swift chassis. There was only an aluminum pan as part of the tub to meet the rules. No passenger seat or seat belts. Had to brace myself against the tub and hold onto the roll bar.
This was the late '80s at Sears Point; before they made the wide turn 4 or took any of the hillsides away. It was absolutely fantastic. The car could carry tremendous corner speed and had braking power greater than I could have imagined. I loved it.
