What is a race car ‘pilot’? Is that like a race horse driver?

Apparently, in many non-English European languages the word ‘pilot’ is indeed used to describe the person behind the wheel of a racing car. So you’ll occasionally get cases of someone familiar with F1 and other popular Europe-based racing series using that term when discussing the sports in English. It’s just not common.

Amstrad is right, I’ve been OD’ing on F1, where the FIA calls drivers “pilots.”

If I had not seen the slow-no clip at the end, I wouldn’t have believed it, honestly. When you’re racing, you don’t see anything beside you like that. You’re looking two turns ahead if you’re doing it right. Looking too close in front of you is a classic rookie mistake. It’s what instructors call “fixating on the end of your hood” (or…. headlights in this case… cough)

It’s taken from the shipping industry-- the drivers aren’t trusted to properly maneuver their cars into the crowded pitlanes, so a pilot embarques onto the racecraft to take over navigation.
It’s all about SAFETY.

If this fact were better-known women like this would have to just go to the track naked.
