Ernest Hemingway has famously said there are only three sports: bullfighting, mountaineering and motor racing and, though not everyone is not of the same mind, the last one cannot be dismissed. <br /> <br />Nor the fact that motor racing requires courage, and mentally and physically strong characteristics to overcome what it throws at you. <br /> <br />Although you can’t compare the extend of physical strain of every motorsport discipline (each affecting the participants in a different way), endurance racing is one of the most grueling and exhausting disciplines out there, as it involves driving hard for prolonged periods of time. <br /> <br />That’s why racing drivers train their bodies and minds to become fit, and Ford is showing us exactly what its drivers need to do in preparation for the most energy-draining race of them all: Le Mans. <br /> <br />So, in their daily 2.5-hour exercise session (not including the 20-minute warm-up) the drivers are training to cope with the G-forces that occur during a race, working their neck muscles and everything in between.
