Put the humans into multi-axis simulators. And show them sweating. It will be the same physical battle, but without the risk to their life.

A centrifuge providing multiple Gs, for example, is a very different feeling from from being tilted backwards in a simulator.
- singleshot_ 3y agoThe only point to automobile racing is the risk to life. Otherwise we’re just driving around.
- onetimeuse92304 3y agoNo, that's not true. Racing is a game of skill. It just happens it involves some risks. If risk was the point, people wouldn't be expending so much effort to make racing safer. And trust me, most drivers do not have a death wish. It is all about figuring out how to learn to drive as close to limits of traction as possible without crossing it.
- singleshot_ 3y agoRacing is not a game. See, Hemingway. I’m out there every other Saturday night because it makes me feel alive. I appreciate people trying to make it safer, but if they ever make it safe I’ll probably take up bullfighting.
