Get a bunch together and find a local karting center, you'll soon find out that it's not all about the car.Do Nellyphants count?

if its all about the car how come everytime I do karting I come first or my mate who also loves cars and driving comes first if I am second ... every single time ... been 30+ times, my trophy shelf groans the weight of cheap plaastic tat0 -

And the TV companies put it in their sports programmes.
And that fat b@stard Ernest Hemmingway knew nothing about sport, before anyone quotes his "wisdom".0 -

Yep, that makes sense comparing karting (where everyone drives basically the same kart) to Formula 1 where the main aim is to engineer a car that goes faster than all the others within a framework of rules. :?
As NapD said, weight is a key in karting given drivers of a reasonably similar skill level (as you would expect F1 drivers to have).
Disagree that F1 is boring now though, I'm not a fan but some of the racing this season has been excellent (there's even been overtaking! :shock: )0 -

Football's only a game.
Motor racing is sport.
Also, golf isn't sport, it's a game
Fishing isn't sport.

I fish and agree that it isn't a sport; it's a hobby or a means to an end.
F1 is a sport.Ben

what a bad loser and some dangerous driving - lets hope he walks before the end of the season, I suppose the day a Lotus out qualifies him would seal it - come on mike Gasgoine - do your stuff
and as long as he is there it keeps a younger star out of F! what price Anthony Davidson - who was brilliant at Le Mans on saturday, taking over - yes please0 -
F1, like darts or snooker, cannot be considered a sport.0
-
I don't know if there's an official definition, but I consider the difference between a game and a sport is that with a sport physical fitness gives you an advantage. Therefore darts is a game, but F1 is a sport. You can be as skillful a driver as any in the world, but if you aren't fit your head will fall off after about 5 laps. And whoever said that F1 doesn't involve skill is a fool of the highest order. No offenceBike lover and part-time cyclist.0

I'll call F1 a sport when the drivers have to pedal their cars.0

I remember seeing Hamster trying a low end formula car and he really struggled. Oh and no, golf's not a sport it's walking which is like going shopping :P Oh wait, the accuracy of hitting the ball...er, that's like throwing a can into a bin...er yeah, that's it; mmmm that said most scroats can't get rubbish into a bin...
