Next time I get my ass kicked at Mario Kart, I’m going to claim I was practicing mindfulness.
Really just trying to remain present and enjoy the drive, y’know?
The faster you are the more laps you can get in per day. They’re just maximising their enjoyment of the whole course.
But seriously, you probably know yourself that racing isn’t just the racing part, but the training, mechanical work, the community and traveling and stuff.
I think this works better with golf. The point of it is to play as little golf as possible
Finish fast as you can so you can do it again sooner
Same with golfing, bowling, darts, etc. I think part of the enjoyment of these types of sports/games/competitions is to see how close to perfection you can get.
Somewhere out there is the perfect lap.
Santa?
And yet due to practice and training you will do more of it that anyone else.
The race is only the record, not the construction.
The point of racing is to be the best, like no one ever was.
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern.
