Yeah so much this! I've had my s2k 15 years, and while I do ok at the track (typically high 1:40's at Laguna Seca), I still feel nervous at every turn: it is essentially an act of faith based on pure practiced muscle memory. It doesn't feel like I will make it but my mind overrides me that logically I know I will, plus margin on top.

But with each of those Porsches, by the time I'd had half an hour in each, I already felt so confident that I was feeling that same thing Roast is talking about: "bro we can go faster! trust me!" turn after turn. That planted, communicative feeling was so inspiring.
