Just that saying it is not particulary athletic is way off mark

The definition of Athletic is "of or pertaining to athletes; involving the use of physical skills or capabilities, as strength, agility, or stamina". Now Auto Racing is
skilled but it doesn't require the use of strength, agility or stamina. It is physically "skilled" in the way carpentry, metal working, painting or sculpting are physically skilled, and no one would describe those as being "athletic", or having a place in the Olympics. The same goes for auto racing, or shooting.
