mythe: Drivers never urinate in the car because they sweat so much.

act: Well, I hate to say it, but this one is false. I've heard of at least one old school driver, and I'm not naming names, who used to relieve himself in the car all the time -- and that's just wrong. I'm sorry, but that's nasty.

Most drivers don't do it because they do sweat so much fluid out, and they usually try to go to the restroom one last time right before they climb in the car, but I have heard of it happening.

If I were that driver's crew, I believe I'd make him clean up the inside of the car when it got back to the shop. Now, I've also seen guys climb out and sprint to the bathroom after a race.

I can't imagine how distracting it would be to be driving at those speeds, and all you can think about is how much you need to go.

That would be rough. I'll leave you with this thought: The next time you're watching a race and you see a driver get out of his car and pour a bottle of water on himself, it might not just be because he's trying to cool off.
