F1 racing cars

a formula 1 racing car will fail to start unless its engine has been heated to the required temperature. they have to do this by pumping hot water around it.

it will also fail to pull away if you do not give enough gas approaching the bite point. some form of electronic wizardry on board will cut the engine to avoid stalling.

also whilst on the track, the car must be driven hard enough to keep the tyres warm and to create sufficient downward force from the spoiler, otherwise you wont be able to keep it on the track.

in some ways, F1 racing cars are alot like people.

people who have to get all fired up before they undergo a task. people who will not start something they dont think they will be able to do. people who need stress in order to perform, even if they have to create that stress themselves.

as martin pointed out though, formula 1 racing cars have been carefully engineered to perform at their best under these conditions.

people havnt.
