> For automotive sports high g (5+) turns are pretty normal there is a good reason why F1 drivers loose like 10 lbs during a race it’s an extremely taxing activity...

It is an extremely taxing activity, but the weight loss is mostly water.

Yes ofc due to sweat I wasn’t implying that you somehow can lose 10lbs of tissue in 2 hours.

Hard to believe it's not water weight being sweated out. Marathon runners don't lose 10 pounds in a race that is very physically demanding.

It’s sweat, I’m not sure how much sweat marathon runners sweat out during a race, especially since many of them dehydrate before the race to lose some weight but I wouldn’t also bet on a marathon being more taxing than an F1 race its both are very hard activities as driving a formula car takes a lot of strength.

“Believe it or not the driver has to apply over 930kg of pedal load per lap in Canada - an incredible 65,590kg over the course of the 70-lap race - and it’s all down to the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve’s unique blend of high-speed straights and tight bends.“

It is water weight being sweated out. Largely because it's a very taxing activity.
