I've taken some fast street cars around a track, and that's a workout. I can't begin to imagine driving an F1 car, much less racing it. Sim racing an F1 car takes immense amount of mental power. Now add in the physical forces and 19 other cars. No way

Hell I’ve driven a RV across the lower 48 3 times, once with a 8-1/2 x 20 enclosed trailer and once with a boat trailer with a wife, 2 kids, 2 dogs and a cat and once with my 78 year old Daddy with us….them dudes job is easy compared to keeping those frickers from killing one another….
