For hours me and my friends argued whether motorsports is a sport. I 100% agree that motorsports is a sport. So let's take a vote, is motorsports a sport. Yes or no?

Yes, take him go carting for a few hrs see how his body feels afterwards

EXACTLY!!!!!!!! I keep telling him that just becuase it doesn't include running or physical contact at times doesn't mean that it doesn't take effort and energy!!

Whenever someone tries to downplay motorsports to me, I always invite them to go carting or autocross with me. Haven't had anyone take me up on the invite yet. If they do, they'll learn.

Put him in a Real Kart (not a Rental), he will quit in a lap or 2

Motorsports?

Like does riding count?

(Quads, Dirtbikes, Sandrails. etc)

It takes some serious endurance to hang with some of the decent riders out there.

Tell him the answer is in the name

Yes, it is a sport. Not sure, why your friends don't agree.

To drive at the top levels in racing (Indy Car F1 Leman Prototypes) you need to be extremely fit most of these guys train using some combination of Iron Man Triathlon(Running Swimming Biking)

I vote Yes

FarmerFran · 08-11-2025, 10:41 AM

Yes

Motorsports is certainly a sport as it demands high-level fitness, sharp reflexes, and strong mental focus. This interview with Patrick Harding, performance coach for F1 driver Alex Albon, gives a great look at the physical and mental work that goes into it:
