However, some aspects of a racecar driver’s job can be stressful, and race-car drivers often have to stay focused for long periods of time.A race-car driver’s work begins long before a race begins. Several hours before a race, the driver and the pit-crew meet. They talk about what kinds of tires are needed for different weather conditions. They also discuss the layout of the racetrack, the wind conditions (strong winds mean a rough ride for the driver), and even the temperature of the racetrack the driver is driving on. Race-car drivers often say that the most difficult thing about racing is getting a chance to drive in races. It takes years and years of practice at local racetracks to gain enough experience to drive in professional races. Only the very best racecar drivers become well known. Most race-car drivers don’t get to experience fame and fortune. A race-car driver must be intelligent, calm under pressure, and in excellent health. The safety of the driver, and the other race competitors, depends on his or her skills and experiences. Not all aspects of a race-car driver’s job are exciting. The pit-crew’s main job is to help drive the car. It’s not the driver’s job to check the wind and temperature conditions on race day. One of the most difficult things for race-car drivers is getting chances to drive in races. Almost all race-car drivers earn a lot of money. Race-car drivers need to be careful for their own safety as well as the safety of their competitors. Time is Up!
