What an interesting question and one surely to draw more responses.
I can understand individuals rising to the challenge of racing. I even gave it a go myself, very belatedly. I was 39 when I had my dabble and accident at Cadwell Park. It seems that I was lucky to survive my scarey fall at the Gooseneck. Looking back, I wouldnt have missed being out there for the world. Unless you have been the other side of the fence yourself, you cannot know what its like. Even a practice day at Snetterton or Rissington makes you buzz all over. What its like to win, I can only guess.
Yes, I can undersand he individual doing it.
The people that truly amze me and fill me with admiration are familys like the Mussons and Stella and family.
You people are truly amazing.

I love this sport and have done now for 50 years.
It can be so cruel at times heaven knows, but there are such good times and such wonderful people to meet and know.

I am also a football fan, but it really does annoy me when the word tragedy is used during a match.
Such a misuse of the word.
So many people on here truly understand the word.

Love light and peace to you all
