alt Hacker NewsYes, this year's Bathurst finale was quite the spectacle if you haven't seen it!
But while Supercars can be entertaining, they are in some ways a faster version of the categories I'm describing - they don't have much downforce and not that much mechanical grip either, so they're pretty slow in corners even if they are respectably fast in a straight line.
Spectacle, for some, isn't about the speed alone, it's also about risk and skill.
The bare minimum of downforce and grip in tight corners on a mountain pushes the skill requirement to, uhhh, over 9000.
I used to spend hours every day at 252 km/hr (156 miles/hr) 80m above the ground. That got dull fast as it was in dead straight headings for 20km or so at a time.
( Did have to keep an eye out for birds taking off over lakes, power lines, etc. though )
