You don't even have to drive a car, you can ride in one too!

  For automotive sports high g (5+) turns are pretty normal there is a good reason why F1 drivers loose like 10 lbs during a race it’s an extremely taxing activity you need to be in insanely good shape and condition your body to be able to withstand those forces for the 1.5-2 hours of a race.

      Yes ofc due to sweat I wasn’t implying that you somehow can lose 10lbs of tissue in 2 hours.

    Hard to believe it's not water weight being sweated out. Marathon runners don't lose 10 pounds in a race that is very physically demanding.

      It is water weight being sweated out. Largely because it's a very taxing activity.

      It’s sweat, I’m not sure how much sweat marathon runners sweat out during a race, especially since many of them dehydrate before the race to lose some weight but I wouldn’t also bet on a marathon being more taxing than an F1 race its both are very hard activities as driving a formula car takes a lot of strength. “Believe it or not the driver has to apply over 930kg of pedal load per lap in Canada - an incredible 65,590kg over the course of the 70-lap race - and it’s all down to the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve’s unique blend of high-speed straights and tight bends.“ https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/features/2015/6/under-pressure---why-brake-systems-feel-the-strain-in-canada.html https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/features/2015/6/under-pre...
