Not the bs you do every day on the street, a real race track with other drivers all after the same thing you are. In football for example, you run for 15 seconds, you get a break for 45. In auto racing you have no breaks, its 110% for anywhere from 1 all the way to 24 hours (depending on the racing of course), stuffed in a 120 to 200+ degree enviornment where the slightest lapse in concentration could end your very life.
This is very true. Some ppl call F1 is not a sport...I for one would disagree strongly. F1 drivers are amongst the most fittest ppl in sport. M Shumacher is a fitness freak, he is fit as he has to keep his concentration up during the whole race. Guys/girls who have driven racing karts would know that autoracing is a sport.
back to the subject, imho, rc is a sport..not physically perharps, but mentally it is.
