What I'm getting at here is that driving an SAE or cart style car, aside from being quick and knowing how to pick a decent line, pales in comparison to the endurance needed to race for hours and hours on end. I've also had my fair share of time behind the wheel of go karts when I was younger, and its the same principle. Same goes for drag cars, as well as auto x.
Not to mention, most people don't think theres any skill involved other than just holding the car straight while driving in a circle. This is because they haven't the faintest idea about the skill it takes to successfully draft a car in front of you at 180mph, how to position your car to let momentum propel you through a corner, or how to be so in tune with a car that you can easily detect 1/2 pound of air difference in any of your tires.
