There's something different between going out on a track day with No RACING allowed, no overtaking in corners, and even rev limits on certain stretches of track, and going out in a real race with no holds barred, and the chance of some competition, even if it's not for the win, but a mid or tail end battle.
Sometimes the battle "not to be last" can be as intense as the one for the lead (only ever done that once, following a collision, long visit to the pits, and returning to the track a lap down and very very last with deranged suspension)
