Ironman triathlon (4km swim, 180km on a bike and a marathon back to back). It doesn't require concentration in the same way that Formula 1 does, but the amount of mental toughness, not to mention physical conditioning required is astounding to me.

 

Ironically, Jenson Button, an F1 driver, participates in triathlons.

Incidentally that's how Lance Armstrong started out, but Button only did a sissy little triathlon:P  When talking about the MOST demanding i'm only referring to Ironman Triathlon.

edit: but i have heard before about F1 drivers, Schumacher was supposed to be a machine and i know Mark Webber is into long distance adventure racing.
