I think that the question and idea is much better and interesting than the first impression it might give initially.
If there would be a 'anti-crash' technology built in the digital systems, this does not obviously mean that the driving would require less skill. In fact the driving skills required might be just as great as any other racing (includes any preferences magnet / non-mag racing). The interesting thing is that the focus for the driver would be on driving style, driving strategy etc, this means driving well. To drive into cars on a real race track is not always supported by existing race regulations and drivers do sometimes get punished for 'ruthless' driving etc. So I would say that there ARE regulations on real tracks and I see no reason why there could not be certain regulations implemented in digital racing - but to make it possible for racers to concentrate on racing instead of 'regulations' and different (impossible?) manual implementation of those 'regulations' some of these issues could be taken care of by the digital (anticrash?) system. Ofcourse some crashes will occur anyway - but it might ease some of the more straighforward mistakes due to short distances and overscale speeds. It might make the digital racing even more fun than the current non-digital one.
