it's the G-forces that you experience on a track, both in acceleration/deceleration and in turns, that are unlikely to be replicated on the street/canyon. Also, depending on the track .

Also, depending on the track . . . elevation changes.

you should check out sears point/infineon/sonoma raceway, whatever its called now. Multiple, blind turns at the beginning of the track as you climb uphill.

First time was mindblowing, trusting the instructor that you can in fact hit the apex when you can't see whats coming up next
Eagle and Rusty like this.
