I used to race cars. About the only time I’ve ever had to size myself up and figure out how ‘good’ I was compared to my peers. TBH, I was one of the slower drivers out there. But it also made me realize that puts me in something like the top 0.1% of all drivers in the world. Just so happens that if you’re good at driving fast, you’re probably out there competing at some level. Being fast requires both talent and practice. Without both you simply aren’t fast.
Side note - actually doing competitive road racing is amazing. If you have any interest and live in America, check out Champcar or 24 hours of Lemons. Grab 4 friends and a cheap car, and go make some memories.
