Okay I don ' t want to start an argument , I ' m literally confused . What is it that people find so appealing about car races ? To me it ' s just needlessly driving in circles while not being able to take a piss . I can definitely appreciate the skill each driver ' s pit crew has even the slow ones are nuts to me , but the driving itself ? Is it really just the appreciation of knowing when to go full speed , great handling skills , and other subtleties to the racing that you appreciate ? And if you ' re a mechanic , appreciating the mechanical aspect of the vehicle in action ? I ' m not much into sports in general , but in most cases I can understand and appreciate the talent on display . What exactly am I missing in racing ? If it really is what I listed above , then I ' ll know racing will just be something I can ' t enjoy , because those aspects just don ' t interest me enough to sit through a whole race .
