The trouble here Gerard, and you've raced at places like Le Mans in modern terms so you know about this, the speed differentials.
With cars capable of taking Eau Rouge flat, you need serious skills both in terms of driving standards but surely in managing the speed of the competition around you. Also and just talking of fitness, the speed makes fitness a purpose. In running, an individual might take on a Marathon as his first race and achieve a +5 hours time being satisfied but by doing so, you don't put people around you at risk as the big guys are already debriefing or probably already home by the time you've finished.
