“Some critics of racing witlessly claim that spectators only attend to see someone die. This is utter and complete nonsense. I have been at numerous races where death is present. When a driver dies, the crowd symbolically dies, too. They come to see action at the brink: ultimate risk taking and the display of skill and bravery embodied in the sport's immortals like Nuvolari, Foyt, and thousands of others who operate at the ragged edge.” Has BeensActionDiesSportsRaceRiskSkillsUltimateClaimsBraveryCriticsEdgesCrowdsNonsenseDriversRacingDisplaySpectatorsRisk-takingRagged Author:Brock Yates

“We also have to match the skills with the needs of the economy... I think we are losing the plot because we are continuing to produce the people that are not going to be the drivers of industrialisation. So that needs the discipline of both training institutions and policies that drive our people to industrialisation.” PeopleThinkingNeedsEconomyPolicyProduceDisciplineSkillsLosingTrainingInstitutionsPlotDriversContinuing Author:Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka
“I like to compare the two to a quarterback and a lineman. Being a brakeman is very physical and success is mostly determined by how fast you can push a sled for about 30 meters. Your position is won or lost by the hundredths of seconds you are faster than another individual. It's like the lineman who is there mostly for their athleticism and physicality. The driver, like the quarterback, possesses a unique skill that takes a lot longer to learn.” TwoIndividualLostPositionSkillsUniqueDeterminedFasterCompareDriversSecondsQuarterbackMeterPhysicalityAthleticismLineman Author:Elana Meyers

“We can assume that most people, most of the time, are moral creatures. But imagine that this morality is like a gearshift that at times gets pushed into neutral. When that happens, morality is disengaged. If the car happens to be on an incline, car and driver move precipitously downhill. It is then the nature of the circumstances that determines outcomes, not the driver's skills or intentions.” PeopleIfsHappensMovingMoralImagineCarCircumstancesMoralitySkillsCreaturesAssumingIntentionDetermineOutcomesDriversImagine ThatIncline Author:Philip Zimbardo
“This is something I'd heard him say before: getting angry at another driver for a driving incident is pointless. You need to watch the drivers around you, understand their skill, confidence and aggression levels, and drive with them accordingly. Know who is driving next to you. Any problems that may occur have ultimately been caused by you, because you are responsible for where you are and what you are doing there.” KnowsNeedsMayProblemNextLevelsWatchesHeardSkillsResponsibleAngryDrivingDriversWhere You AreAggressionIncidentsPointless Book:The Art of Racing in the Rain Source: The Art of Racing in the Rain
