how has racing
How does racing affect the world? What innovations do you see from racing in driving and other aspects of things?

the streets aren't designed for racing, and most cars aren't designed for racing either. Most cars aren't race inspired nor the roads, they're simply the workings of transportation @ highway speeds.

safety devices and even handling for safety are from racing
they don't have to be race inspired to be FAST race inspired can mean nice and smooth for the highway
like toeing in the car so under hard breaking they don't vibrate

How do banks in curves on the highway directly relate to "racing"? That's more of a law of gravity and physics...I seriously doubt one was the result of another.
IMO, many feautres on vehicles sold nowadays were first seen in one form or another on race cars (ie, bolstered seats, short throw shifters, paddle/triptronic style trannys, wheel designs, brakes, exhausts, aerodynamics/body styling/spoilers, traction-control/computers, ect. ect..)
