Like for example, obviously I'm a sports fan, but through all of sports the one thing I love watching more than anything is great baseball pitchers. Watching how much movement they can put on a ball is just fun to watch.

Yeah, I've played lots of classic NFS back in the day, but since its physics was always pretty outlandish, the sports aspect of racing didn't quite click for me. It's only relatively recently-ish that I picked up Gran Turismo on PS Vita and proper simulators on the desktop, which is when I learned about the racelines, setups and whatnot — and started understanding what drivers are doing and started following F1.

Curiously, there's a simple pen-and-paper game called Racetrack, which simulates the physics of racing better than NFS.
