Your degree of Motorsport competitiveness?
When I race karts, I used to feel guilty that I sometimes seemed to enjoy the preparing and practicing more that actual race days. I found that a race
day could become a blur of stress and aggro, if you had problems or a "racing incident". Not to mention the usual arguments when people
are aggrieved at what someone else did or was perceived to do.
But then I decided it was fine, as you spend much more time prepping than racing, so you may as well enjoy it more. I suppose the ultimate in this
direction is when you build and/or prepare a race car for someone else to race. Maybe this person has more skill and BMT (big match temperament) than
you, and nothing wrong with that.
And of course the best part of a race day is the beers afterwards, and you don't need to race to enjoy that!
Call me a wimp if you like, some people seem to really enjoy the wheel banging and shouting.
Cheers

If there's someone in front of you, you're not winning. That means you're a loser and nobody want to lose.

I'd love to race, but can't afford to, so it's just driving like a loon on the road for me so far.
