Earlier today I got a chance to drive both a Porsche 992 GT3 and a Mercedes AMG GT R for a few laps each at SpeedVegas/Exotics Racing. It was my first time ever driving on a track. On the one hand I liked finally experiencing what it's like to go all-out (as much as a newcomer can, anyways) on cars meant to go all-out on straights and turns. I definitely enjoyed the cars themselves (shockingly I liked the GT R more than the 992 despite the Porsche having more precise steering input and feel).
Unfortunately, I think the nausea during and afterwards was enough to deter me from pursuing it more actively in the nearby future. I'm no Lewis Hamilton by any means, and definitely not Max Verstappen even more so. I think in the grand scheme of things I enjoy cars at the speed limit, +5mph absolutely tops if I can help it. Boring I know. Pathetic I'm aware. I can handle highway speeds just fine, I just need infinitely more experience driving on said highways more than anything at this point (I have practically next to none ).
Now then, my latest set of questions for anyone willing to help my insane self out:
1. Can you enjoy driving a car spiritedly within the speed limits with less than 200hp? More to the point, can you merge on the highway and pass others reasonably quickly with a car that has less than 200hp?
2. If I were to try track driving again, how do I battle the nausea before, during, and/or after the experience? Or is it just something that you have to just build resilience with each different time you go?
I guess that's all I've got for now. Looking forward to hearing from others. Thank you!
