14 Things People Shouldn’t Be Overheard Saying At A Race Meeting
We get it, some people aren’t as into motorsport as others, but if you go to a race meeting there are quite a few things you really shouldn’t be caught or overheard saying...
1. “Can we go home yet”
No, this is a six/eight/24 hour race. There are still five/seven/23 more hours to go.
2. “They aren’t that fast”
3. “The cars are too loud”
4. “What kind of fuel economy do they get?”
5. “I’m bored”
The worst thing any motorsport fan could hear. HOW?!
6. “But it’s just driving around in circles?”
And? Your point is?
7. “Anyone can do that”
8. “This is not a sport. They just sit there”
9. “It’s just a car”
No. It’s a race car. There’s a BIG difference.
10. “This is so bad for the environment”
11. “I don’t get the point of this”
12. “OHH a crash, something exciting has finally happened”
Have you not been watching the race?
13. “So can the cars just be driven home afterwards?”
14. “V8? What does that mean?”

Why dont they press the drift button?
15) I hope both Silver Arrows crash into each other again
12 pisses me off.
I had to stop after the “it isn’t a sport” one… I really don’t want to know the rest.
“I’ll bet my Peugeot can beat any of those cars”
pastor is the best driver
“Why don’t they use Bugattis”
I got told baseball, basketball, and football (american) was harder then rally, nascar, touring car drift, GT, F1 etc. my response was then why do we require our drivers to have two balls and not one
I once was told “How is this entertaining?” followed by “yeah racing is just dumb, who’d do such a stupid thing?” and it basically took all of my willpower (or Will Power if you’re talking about the driver lol) to not punch her in the face. Just because you don’t like the sport doesn’t mean you just talk absolute trash about it.
