"a sport requires a physical strain/endurance/work element along side the skill of using some kind of projectile "
You defninition could very be used to describe autoracing. Sure there are some tubs on lard in NASCAR (Jimmy Spencer comes to mind) but check out F1, CART and the IRL. Those drivers are as fit as any athlete. The difference is they are part of the projectile.
Hemmingway once said something to the effect that bullfighting, mountain climbing and auto racing were all sports, the rest merely games. I'm not sure if I totally agree, but in all three the participant can lose his life if their performance is poor.
