This is an image I captured while at Toronto’s Honda Indy. I’ve always found racing to be a difficult sport to understand due to its environmental impact. The racers have to fly to a multitude of cities and have their cars driven there in large trailers. They then use extravagant amounts of oil and a fleet of tires. I believe it to be a very westernized sport that relies heavily on fossil fuels. Not a light environmental impact I imagine, but hey its in the family.
