My wife wondered if we are reaching the limit of human ability in athletics; I think we’re only reaching the limit of people who actually take part in those sports.

I’ve made this argument before relating to motorsports. Due to the barriers of entry (mostly cost, geography and connections), the best potential racing drivers in existence (from a biological perspective) will likely never step foot in a race car.
I would love to see F1 drivers being crushed by sim drivers
Honestly, i think most sim drivers could not physically handle driving a real F1 car. And by most i mean like 99% of them.
I mean accelerating a formula can hit you with force of 4g and in corners it can be even more than that.
Yeah, it seems I made a quite ignorant comment; as taking these factors into account, would make it an entirely different showdown. Perhaps putting both in a simulator, sim drivers might outperform the drivers; but would challenge just a select set of abilities.
That would be intresting to watch.
