if your not in control of the car and where its headed,
if you can,t instantly control ,
steer and if required brake or slow or when required,
too keep the car from being damaged,
your not driving
your simply in the car ,
and maybe controlling,
the engine rpms and gear changes
if your driving the car, in a drag race,
it stays in the lane it started in,
goes where its intended and finishes the run undamaged.
I would just assume sane people don,t risk seriously damaging tens of thou$and$ of dollars in race car parts to impress a few people that they don,t even know or care about!
