I should point out that the only track I've been to is Knockhill, so anything I say is based on my experiences there.
1. When attending any motorsport event (track, rally, etc) do you feel adequately protected as a spectator?
Yes. Not over protected, but I've never felt in any danger even when I've seen some large accidents happen.
2. What more measures do you think could be taken to further protect spectators from on-track incidents?
Not much more without ruining viewing/photographing opportunities.
3. Would further safety measures spoil your enjoyment of watching the racing?
Yes.
4. Is it a good thing that motorsport has a reputation for danger, even for spectators? Is that part of the attraction?
No. Spectators should be kept out of harm's way where possible, as it's bad enough for drivers to be hurt so long as spectators (particularly families) are safe.
5. Have you ever been injured yourself, or witnessed someone else being injured, at a motorsport event? If so, what happened and how did you feel?
I saw a photographer get hurt, although it was just some bruises.
