Motorcar Racing is not a sport

RACE CAR DRIVING IS NO SPORT


During a recent Grand Prix it was noticed from the
commentary that a car being minutes away from home
(victory) broke it’s rear spring and staggered to the
nearest pit-stop to learn that the driver had to throw in
the towel. I made the following observations bringing me to
conclude that race car driving was not a sport.

The definition of sport has long been a topic of
opinion and discussion, depending on how one classifies a
sport. Games from football to chess are referred to as
sport. For a game to be considered a sport it must display
competition, physical skills and energy.

One requirement for a game to be a sport is that it
must contain competition where a winner and a loser is
determined. ... A good example
of competition being displayed is in the sport of tennis. ...

A sport also requires physical skills. Not everything
that requires physical movement is a sport.
