sports passion thinking
I'm trying to set out the passion and complexity of this sport. Many people think it's a dumb activity: stand on the gas and turn left. In fact, it's probably one of the most complex sports in existence.
passion racing levels
Racing is a passion...at this level, a source of immense gratification. So the rest is no problem.

passion racing calling
Racing is a calling, a passion.
