Here's why:

- During a race, drivers have more G forces exerted on their bodies than astronauts during a launch.
- They lose (sweat out) about 10-15 lbs of weight during a race. Ever see a race car driver after a race - they are out of breath and soaked in sweat (Much like other "traditional" athletes after a game, match, etc.)
- Driving is also just as mental as it is physical, much like the other traditional sports
I'd really like to hear your argument why it's not....
