I agree with the statements above..and as I have stated I havent raced a car at all ..only karts..but when you have a big crash (and I've had my fair share) you realize that you could get hurt and i have been racing when people have been seriously hurt..but i think the thing that keeps you going is the love of the sport..of course we all believe that it wont happen to us and the actual chances of that happening are very slim but in the back of your mind it is always there and you try to take precautions.

i don't know what exactly it is with drivers but they tend to bounce back with a resilience unseen in most other sports and the fact that the person or persons involved would more than likely want you to continue doing what you love so much and drivers tend to take solace in that.
