Since when are drivers "athletes"? Golfers are a stretch, but at least the game does require something more than pure hand/eye coordination.

Racecar drivers require a very significant amount of physical endurance, high awareness, and intense mental calculation. Besides... their events are shown on sports channels, they have full seasons and championships, clearly definied winners and losers, teams, and rivalries.
So, if you wouldn't classify them as athletes, what exactly would you call them?
