Well you really have to think about it, when driving around in your normal car its pretty easy to turn, but the faster you go the harder it is to keep the car from swerving and sliding all over the place at 70 miles an hour, now think about trying to keep a 3400 car going 200 mph in a sharp corner with 3 cars lined up in front, behind side to side with 110+ degree heat in a very small space and 800 pounds of force going in a corner for 3 hours... to me.. yes.. its deffinetly a sport.
