If you see one of the photo's she is wearing a tank top and a helmet for seemingly a test run in a jet car. The cabin isn't designed for safety or survival. Not sure if that would even be possible, but a carbon tub or enclosure might be more in keeping with the mission at hand.

I would be surprised if she wasn't fully suited up for any actual run. She was no dummy, and knew the risks. Even of there were no danger from fire (which there was), you'd still want full skin protection if any sort of incident occurred.
