Message: [QUOTE="OrangeJEM, post: 322754, member: 2422"] [SIZE=6][B][SIZE=12px]There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games- Ernest Hemingway.[/SIZE][/B][/SIZE] If a sport doesn't really involve the chance of death, it is a game. Also anyone who doesn't believe auto-racing at the highest levels is a sport, is truly missing something. Formula One races can only last for an hour and a half because the human body can only take so much punishment via G forces. The 24- Hour Le mans races our some of the most grueling tests of physical stamina, driving 150+ MPH for four hours surrounded by other cars, while being subjected to G-forces. Not to mention the fact that at anytime something can go wrong, and that's it. Every corner you are 1 mph, 1 degree of steering input, 1 mistake away from serious injury or death. [/QUOTE]
