Officially, motorsport is a sport because in the rankings for most challenging sports it goes:


1)Sailing


2)F1 Racing


3)Equestrian



Yes ive heard about Jim Saltonstall saying that and it was to do with sailing having the most variables of any sport!

It wasn't Jim who compiled the rankings though, I think it was either the head of the Olympics comittee or some major sporting governing body.

it is one of Jims storys he has hundreds of them and belive me I have herd most of them twice.

It comes from a olympic coaches seminar that he was at and the speaker told all the coaches that was the order.

It is all to do with the variables and sailing is in 1st because it is never same. the track is not flat and is allways changing. the wind changes you have all the rig stuff and other competitors to get in the way.

My club Sunderland = RS500 did not look good from the start of the season and the results prove it.
