How Motorsport Has Transformed Every Car on the Road
To put it plainly, no sport on Earth has a more profound impact on your
daily life than racing. If you've been in a vehicle today, your life has
been impacted by racing, and I'm not exaggerating even a little here.
It's not even so much racing as it is competitive corporate research and development, disguised as sport.
Fuel injection? All-wheel drive? Dual-clutch transmissions? All of these very common technologies are directly derived from motorsport,
and those are merely the most obvious examples. Even today, various
race series like Formula One and the World Endurance Championship (in
which the Le Mans prototypes compete) push the advancement of
technologies that will be on your car in the near future.
