No one has yet even tried to explain why we need to have car racing. We don't. Comparing car racing to necessary activities such as travel, breathing(?) etc. is a false comparison.
World leaders flying internationally in private jets to negotiate on how to keep the world safe is unfortunately necessary. How is car racing necessary?
Ever hear of Skype...You fail to realise your leaders are better than you.Now unplug your battery tooth brush and brush manualy.
I live in the Seattle area, which is extremely conscious of environmentalism. Every week it seems that there is a new story about the effects of global warming. Last week it was the disappearance of sea urchins. The week before, methane gas bubbling up in the arctic. This week, there is a front page story in the Seattle Times about "Orcas in Peril."
Automotive racing of all types, whether it is car, truck, or motorcycle, serves NO earthly purpose. Someone estimated that ONE driver, a guy named Jeff Gordon, has driven almost 300,000 miles in races alone. That is one guy, and does not even count his practice driving, or his driving getting to and from the track.
No earthly purpose to it, and all the while generating carbon emissions. Wouldn't it be a great idea to ban it? I would not even allow emissions-free cars such as the Tesla to race, since there is no way to tell whether the electricity may have come from coal. I'm completely serious here--I'd ban it all.

Ok comrade, when the US turns into the USSR and you are 'elected' czar then you can tell the proletariat what they 'need'. until then you are just a wanna be commie with an opinion. got it?
Electric cars produce more co2 than the average car.
The researchers compared emissions over 150,000km for a BMW 320i using petrol and the new electric Tesla Model 3 and found the latter to be capable of emitting 27 tonnes of carbon – 20 per cent more than the BMW. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/...more-polluting
But that's not the worst part, those batteries need more natural resources and are more prompt to fires in accidents.
Global warming is problem only in the mind of people, the reality is that the world is in a cooling trend. Isn't it colder than usually where you live?

You are misdirected, the real enemy of the environment is lawnmowers and other small engines.
then we have overcrowding, city traffic, air conditioning, toll booth back ups, vinyl siding, transportation of items like coffee, bananas, oranges and guava. All unnecessary for a Spartan existence.
No earthly purpose for a golf course, pesticides, herbicides and water runoff and squandering water resources must keep you awake at night.
Sports stadiums are a blight on the land, concentrate people and pollution.

so from the fascist handbook (ban, boycott, protest) whats next
should we ban breathing, or how about cow farts..or how about the leftist population control, where they kill billions
Car racing as a whole is probably just a spec in terms of being bad for the environment in the grand scheme of things.
