I posted my thank you before I read all the comments.

In regards to Spectre J’s comment:

The part about, “but the term is also used to include activities such as mind sports and motor sports where mental acuity or equipment quality are major factors.”

That part wasn’t there in Wikipedia when I posted my comment. Someone must have edited it, perhaps yourself? In order to make your comment valid.

And my original point still holds, and you have issues……It’s a gaming site, not the New York Post, stop being a tool and develop a sense of humor will ya?

And Stephany

A racecar does all the work? They turn, accelerate brake and pit all by themselves? Wow, never knew that. Physical capabilities do make the difference as reaction time and endurance are very important. From slightly more reputable sources than Wikipedia (Princeton):

- an active diversion requiring physical exertion and competition
- the occupation of athletes who compete for pay

and from Wikipedia just after your statement:

…but the term is also used to include activities such as mind sports and motor sports where mental acuity or equipment quality are major factors.

Maybe the next time you want to exercise you mental acuity you should actually get your research from more than one source, Lest you look like an ass.

So by using a highly respected source and your own Wikipedia, you have been proven wrong. Might I point out that all respect you won from me was lost as soon as you said PWNED? You berate someone for using insults and then stoop to them yourself? Maybe it is you who needs to grow a brain.

And as an afterthought let me point out that this Pleb called drivers redneck inbreeders. Let it be pointed out that most are fairly intelligent and no more mentally deficient than you or I, and they are most assuredly not inbred. I think Gaming Today should think before choosing such an inflammatory comment as their comment of the week.

Maybe we could argue it is not a sport, but in the end Kezins is right, it still takes a lot of stamina both physical and mental. At the very least you should respect that.

I don’t know, I think racing (like depicted in Gran Turismo) is a sport. Perhaps NASCAR isn’t, I don’t know enough about it, but it is.

It’s a sport just as much as marksmanship and the like.

It’s about using the tool to the best of your ability.

As far as NASCAR, it’s definitely not a sport in the classic sense, but it still takes a crap load of physical and mental stamina. I think I’d classify it as a game and a competition.
