Dumb meme. You can enjoy something without dedication or being good at it.

I like watching F1 highlights (not even full race lmao) and only vehicle I can drive is a bicycle. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Don't sell yourself short.

If you can ride a bicycle, you can probably handle a tricycle.

Watching races becomes way better if one plays some sim racing games and gets into adjusting the car for the track. Racing is a rare sport that one can somewhat experience themselves without athletic training.

Sure, because baseball fans are the physical elite of the sports world. Playing a video game is nothing like actual track racing.

OP has a point. Star Wars is not science fiction, it's religious fantasy.

It's definitely not engineering otherwise they wouldn't use 12 ft thick catwalks in space.
