I guess this is a good one to put in here:

THREAD JACKING!

hehe.

wow interesting views on "sports" Auto racing is definately a sport. Moral you have a funny/but cool definition . Ive never heard of anyone relating it back to ancient/war days but in a way it makes sense to me. I dont necessarly agree with it, but I can see where you are coming from.

most high end race series require the drivers to be in great shape. If you think anyone can drive a car/race a car or it hardly takes skill or endurance you are out to lunch.


and yes "point" or stiletto(sp) like shoes have been popular for a long time. if your foot isnt to big to begin with and you have on the proper pants it can look good.

Now tell me how a race car driver does not fit the definiton of an athlete. Oh, and the car is not doing the work. Both of them are. The car wouldn't go anywhere without the driver, and the driver wouldn't go anywhere without a car. It's the same as in hockey - just because it's the stick that does the scoring does not mean that the stick is doing the work - it is merely a tool of the player, just like a car is a tool of an auto racer.

but sitting in a damn car and making one big left turn for two hours in not a damn sport i don't care what stupid definitions say. cause by those definitions spelling bee's and math competitions are sports and they are not athletes. You don't have to be in shape to race cars, being in shape in just good for you and any driver that says they have to be in tip top shape is full of shit

Originally posted by Orko Thats pretty funny. So you are telling me, when you are propelled from 0-160KM in less than 3 seconds(about 2.5s in an F1 car), you do not need agility to maneuver around? These drivers are constantly working around each other at insanely high speeds. Agility is required. In terms of strength, most racing series' do not have power steering. Have you ever driven a car without power steering? Your arms have to extremely strong just turn the wheel. They make it look very easy, but that's because they are strong. I am certainly not trying to argue that it is or is not a sport because we are comparing it from different perspectives. But, please do not try and dilute what these guys go through in their training regiments. High altitude training, weights, cross country running, 5-7 times a week working out...they are just as fit as any athlete on the planet. If you will also notice, Schumaucher regularly trains with Real Madrid, and I consider this amazing because football players are sooooo fit!

Schumacher is an athelete whom happens to drive cars. The training they do is atheletic, but the actual competition is not

dude you are full of shit.

no i speak the truth. gear heads just don't want to admit it

Car racing is a competition not a sport.

Sports originated from the hunting and war activities done by our ancestors.

A sport consists of a physical and mentally competitive activity carried out with a recreational purpose for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of a skill, or some combination of these. A sport has physical activity, side by side competition, self-motivation and a scoring system. The difference of purpose is what characterises sport, combined with the notion of individual (or team) skill or prowess.

competition
n.
1. The act of competing, as for profit or a prize; rivalry.
2. A test of skill or ability; a contest: a skating competition.

semantics. in sports there are competitions.
Car racing is a sport. Ive done all sorts of sports throughout my life so far and some at decently high levels . I consider car racing a sport, just like the majority does.
