This document discusses the risks involved in motorsports. It notes that there are over 11.5 million motorsports enthusiasts, with 30% following Formula 1, 10% DTM, and 5% MotoGP and WTCC. It outlines that motorsports involves high speeds, high earnings, and high attention. However, it also carries risks of crashes, injuries, and deaths of drivers like Ayrton Senna, Dan Wheldon, and Marco Simoncelli. There is high tension for viewers from both real risks and artificial risks created for entertainment. The document questions whether risk needs to be an inherent part of being a race car driver and how motorsports can be made safer for both drivers and spectators.
