    I think there’s a MASSIVE difference between Formula/GT/Rally guys and guys who roll coal. True racing cars count for less than 1% of global emissions. The real problem is all the flights and transport necessary to get to the venues. The vehicles themselves are a blip on the radar.

    Guys who roll coal are deliberately harming the environment for the sake of making a really stupid point.

      I don’t disagree but it doesn’t let f1/nascar/etc off the hook. their ‘hobby’ is racing in circles burning gas.

      Let me type that again, because the absurdity is powerful:

      THEIR HOBBY IS RACING IN CIRCLES BURNING GAS.

      work it out mate.
