Those boys just don't make any mistakes at all, and their flawless technique is so habitual, so ingrained, that they can concentrate all their effort on points of super-racecraft, little things that save a fifth of a second here and another there.
Here, in 1951, Ascari demonstrated the high order of racecraft he commanded when, with a small lead over his old rival Fangio, he calmly drew into the pits before his last lap. The Ferrari team was frantic. Ascari wanted the tires changed before committing himself to that long (14-mile) last lap rather than risk failure.
gloss: The process by which racist behaviour creates the belief that race is a biological reality.
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: Fitting actual humans to any such grid inevitably calls forth the busy repertoire of strange maneuvering that is part of what we call racecraft.
Racecraft hijacks often minor human physical and cultural differences and weaponizes them into symptoms of race – an invisible substance that is held to account for inborn moral and physical disparities between racialized populations ...
America’s contemporary racecraft is doubly pernicious as political traditions like “identity politics,” which originated in the context of class struggle as a recognition of real and dynamic differentials of experience structured by capitalist exploitation, have become counter-insurgent reifications of difference, and comfortably at home in the Clinton wing of the Democratic Party, which uses its jargon to attach the left.

Where once stood silicone-injected breasts and delicate shoulders, now stands ripped pecs and striated delts.
The “hardbody film,” a term that was first coined by Susan Jeffords, is defined by Drew Ayers as: ... What is unique to this cycle of films is the focus on the body of the male hero, a body that is fetishized for its hard and sculpted muscularity and/or its athletic skill and physical prowess.
