PCAP has included information in the mandatory Safety briefings the last few years on numbers of incidents by track, turn and run group for PCAP - which has been enlightening for the reasons Irfan states. But as noted by DD, don't expect any comprehensive nation-wide database statistical compilation because no one has the time or accurate information to do that, and in any event the standards and record-keeping by each club/region are not consistent.
The PCAP info is excellent; you should be able to learn what you need from that without worrying about comparisons with Track Daze, NASA, FATT or BMW.
