Negative. THIS ^ is racing. Not the bastardized junk they're trying to stuff down our throats today. You're actually running the clock on this one, need a spotter in the passenger seat....and I'm pretty sure you aren't scored on "style points"?
All valid points, but it's like comparing competitive bass fishing to recreational bass fishing. The end result is you're catching fish. The end result here is you're drifting. You're focusing on why instead of the technique.
