requires a car such as this and also wearing helmet and gloves at all
times during the process. It is indeed very sporty but like every

That's one nasty sounding scooby (nasty in this case is praise)
It's good to have a tire sponsor.
That Segway stunt is cool looking but not a bright thing to do.

In general on-pavement racing, no, it's not. It's a lot more visually
and auditorially exciting, but it's usually not the fastest way. In
off-road racing, though, like Paris-Dakar or Baja 1000,
any autocross/gymkhana course I've ever seen or
run - way more open faster.
