Where is lawbreaking not just visible, but designed to be seen? Where is antisocial behaviour worn as a badge of honour? Where is pleasure gained directly from causing distress? And where is reckless endangerment often ignored by the police or treated with the mildest of punishments? The answer is on the roads.

    Racing has existed since the beginning of time, ever since one person challenged another that they are faster, and the bet was called. The Need for Speed is not just a cars problem… From horses to bikes, autos, boats, airplanes, and even commuter trains, someone wants to go fast. Best we can do is enforce and penalize dangerous behavior on the road and not shut down every motorsport park that gives people an “out” for this.

      And racecars are known for lowering efficiency and wasting fuel by “rolling coal” 🙄

      They’re not talking about people racing in cars.
