So the problem you are having is that there's a machine involved in this test?
Art, it's not so much that a Machine is involved in the test as the machine is the largest part of the test. I view racing as a competition between mechanics, with the driver giving the product a brain. That is my principle argument.

So don't get me wrong, I think it is as fine and valid a competition as any. Indeed, one could, if one had a taste for it, put it on a par with sports, but when it is called a sport, that's a wrong to both racing and to sport.
