Auto Racing didn't even crack the top 10:

But don't take our word for it. Take the word of our panel of experts, a group made up of sports scientists from the United States Olympic Committee, of academicians who study the science of muscles and movement, of a star two-sport athlete, and of journalists who spend their professional lives watching athletes succeed and fail.

most types of racing are tough, but the physical demands don't seem comparable to other sports at least not in a way i can think of. Not saying it isn't it's just a different kind of physical exertion.

actually, if professional wrestling were a sport and not a show, that shit would probably be pretty intents.
the pro wrestling circuit is on the road 300 days a year :eek5: imagine not being hurt for only 2 months out of the year. that's why a lot of them get addicted to alcohol and pain killers.

Racing is definitely very physical. But I would have to go with hockey. Just look at the interviews with players after one period. They can hardly talk - and they look like they just took a shower... after one period. I played for 18 years, and it is very demanding. But if one was to be harder, my guess would be boxing - I can't imagine having to do that.
