Racecar Drivers Are Amongst the Safest on the Track
Racecar driving is often thought of as a dangerous sport, but a new study from researchers at the University of Racing Science has found that professional racecar drivers are actually some of the safest drivers on the track. The study looked at data from over a thousand racecars and found that drivers’ reactions and skill level in emergency situations were significantly higher than those of other drivers. This is likely due to the many hours of practice and training that professional racecar drivers go through before they get behind the wheel. The researchers noted that the safety benefits of racecar driving are not limited to the track, but can also be seen in everyday driving.
