This time sport for teens, using sports as a vehicle to explore deeper issues. 

Speed freak by Fleur Beale (2013). 
Aimed at an older audience than Beale's Slide the corner (1993) this title is focused on karting (Slide the corner was rallying). 

Single Fin by Aaron Topp (2006). 
Surfing - and suicide. Yep. Sport as a vehicle.
