The basic ruling on car races is permissibility. However, renowned international races are often funded by alcohol and cigarette companies to promote their forbidden products, and working in such events is considered cooperation in sin and aggression. Furthermore, many of these races involve betting and prohibited gambling. These competitions, in their current state, include wasting money, risking lives, promoting forbidden things, and sometimes gambling. Therefore, they are not a field for a Muslim seeking lawful sustenance to work in.
