It isn't like I'm just gonna take a ride to a track on a lazy Saturday afternoon and have the same results. Kinda like sports. You're not gonna play basketball on the weekends and be on the level of a NBA player.
Who said anything about performing at the level of a professional? I'm talking about cars that are inherently difficult to drive at the limit and only a professional is going to be able to get the most out of, but an average driver is just going to find frustrating and not be confident in. So, say you have two cars and in the hands of a professional, and car Y puts in a faster lap time than car X. But with the same cars in the hands of an amateur, car X puts in a faster lap time than Y because the amateur is more confident in car X. Note, I am NOT saying that the amateur's lap times are faster than those of the professional driver.
