LOS ANGELES, California – A string of racing-related documentaries have been released on major streaming services like Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu and a common theme has emerged – the life of a racing driver is really pretty uninteresting. One pro driver told The Lugg Nutt, “Yeah, it’s really cool not knowing if I’ll have a job next year and then having to kiss ass to every snake oil salesman team owner, or worse a rich amateur driver, in the paddock. Love that.”
Another pro race driver added, “I mean, driving GT3 cars and the occasional LMP2 is pretty cool, but I also have to spend five straight days in Bowmanville, Ontario and Alton, Virginia with a bunch of dudes who always smell like grease and GOOP. How exotic.” The driver continued, “Just wait until you have to do a three-day coaching session in the off-season with a retired podiatrist at Gingerman. Three dinners at the South Haven Applebees get a little old. I can only imagine what those Trans Am guys have to go through. On top of that, the fans, ugh. Have you ever dealt with sportscar fans? Good Lord they’re a bunch of annoying creeps. Hashtag blessed.”
