I truly love motorsports, I go racetrack every time when I just have time and finances, oh and when track day car is in working order.
It is so small fraction in whole picture that motorsports are meaningless for consumption and such.
When people stop burning their lights around the clock, when street lights are started to shut off at night on empty roads? These are consuming huge amount of energy and for example street next to my house sees as an average 5 vehicles during the night, but lights are still kept on and they turn them on when it is still daylight. That same thing I see all over the place, if people are not interested from saving in such bigger things, I really don't see point of limiting motorsports, actually I don't see point of limiting freedom in name of "insert your ideology here", when anything can be adjusted to make things work out better.
Then there are point of motorsport bringing new technology and inventions to all of us, that is if motorsport is not limited too much in name of safety so that there is no room for innovations.
Most wasteful is idea to bying newer more eco would be good for enviroment, buy more, buy new, that is message everywhere and it is forgotten how every new needs to be made, it needs materials to be digged up from the ground, materials need to be processed and lot of transportation is needed, old stuff is put to wastes, recycling is not very good percentage from what it could be and hardly ever matches to what manufacturers claim, they always forget stuff that is not recycled which is quite good part.
There are so many more important things that I certainly don't see point why motorsports would be a target, unless that is emotional thing?
It is not easy to stay clear from emotional thinking, but it is only way to make correct choices when brain is in control and emotion is only advisor, sadly rarely that happens and so we see people buy more new, more eco, which often is worse than using old one, like is case with Audi A2 for example, choice of materials makes it much worse than my old french car, even more so when I have mods installed.
One key issues is not seeing whole picture, focusing only to narrow area makes something look totally different than when putting it into context and looking whole picture.
That is at least what I think about it.
