Actually, serious question: How do most of you feel about car sports? Like if we managed to get a world where cars are not a necessity would vehicular sporting events also be purged? I’m not much of a race fan, but demolition derby and monster truck shows are fun.
The community is, I believe, about eliminating car dependency. Basically, it would be an ideal world if you don’t even have to consider owning a car to participate in society. Car racing is like the difference between mountain biking and riding a bike around for your commute. There are worse practices than racing cars.
Nah dude, care can be really cool toys! I fully support Nascar, demolition derbys, monster trush shows, old car collecting, etc.
I just don’t want cars to be the main way to go places, let alone the only one as it is in many places! It is bad economically, it is bad for people’s health, and it is bad for the environment. Using cars for entertainment though really isn’t an issue, nor is using them in situations where the alternatives don’t work as well.
Where do monster trucks lie on this scale?

The pollution impact is fairly small and a lot of innovation happens in those competitions that might end up in ordinary vehicles.
Motorsports are cool. And their contribution to pollution is negligible compared to wider vehicle use as well as more accountable.
