Fastest reflexes required in any sport

[Split]

tennis requires more planning/ strategy than reflexes... would agree that hockey is the most demanding of team sports

but, if you consider it a sport (which i strongly do) rally drivers win hands down...







It's really fucking insane, considering that on pavement those cars get to 60 mph in the 2.5 second range, and just above 3 seconds on dirt/ mud/ snow. This is for RallyCross, I think World Rally Car Championship cars get to 60 in like 5 seconds.

For comparison, the Bugatti Veyron SS with 1,001 HP and a 16-cylinder, quadruple-turbocharged 8.0 L engine gets to 60mph in 2.4 seconds.. on pavement, and with world-class drivers behind the wheel.

A Ferrari F430 Scuderia gets to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds.



Also consider that the tracks have widely varying, variable conditions, that fans will often run onto the track mere seconds before drivers blow through at 120 mph to snap photos head on, that animals and locals often cross the track due to the ridiculously rural locations that these races take place




I have a shit-ton of incredibly dope YouTube videos (carporn) that I was gonna make a thread and dump em...
