Is car racing a sport?

Question

Sorry lmao don’t know the proper term 😂

Answer

It is considered a sport. It has the requirements to be classified as a sport: it has an objective (the goal is to finish first), it has competition, and it requires conditioning both physically and mentally. You need to be well trained to be able to drive a vehicle at such a high speed. The driver must withstand g forces and other factors in order to not just survive the drive but to be able to win the race. Additionally, the driver has to have a clear head to be able to make appropriate decision. Also, the building of cars are considered as part of the sport. Anything that is competitive, requires conditioning, and has opposition is generally viewed as a sport.

Answer

It may be a sport, but the drivers definitely aren’t athletes. 
I can’t believe NASCAR is the most popular “sport” in the US. 
How embarrassing. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Answer

I’d say yes🤷🏻‍♂️ anything can really be a sport. Horse racing is similar (though many are started way too young as foals but that’s another topic). 
You sit on horse, you start, you run horse in circle at fast speeds with chance of losing balance and control, if you fuck up you could die or be really wounded as could others. Etc. 
From the outside it just looks like a bunch of little guys standing over horses with the animals doing all of the work (they’re doing a lot true) but there’s a bit more mentally and physically that goes into it than spectators know. Jockey’s are usually in good shape because of this.

Answer

It takes knowledge, skill, and talent to drive and adjust your car, along with it being physical as well. Not everyone can do it, and not everyone who does it is a good driver. It's way more than just turning left on a track, especially in dirt racing. It's definitely a sport.

Answer

To me, I’d consider Formula 1 a sport over NASCAR any day. But yeah, both technically are.

Answer

To me it's not a sport because anyone can drive a damn car in a circle

Answer
