Race cars have reinforced driver cages and automatic fire extinguishers.

Sounds like the battery has lost storage capacity.
Had a brand new one once on the BMW with the same problem. Without at least a 30 mile drive after start up it would only spin the V8 once.
When the battery dealer checked it with a load tester it showed good on the first test and a second test failed.
