Fast driving is portrayed as precise execution rather than mere speed or danger. Patrick’s path included go-karts at 10 and IndyCar at 23 at speeds around 240 miles per hour. Patrick’s racing ability is presented as developing through long sport-specific exposure rather than special external neurotraining. Racing itself supplied the perceptual, motor, emotional, and attentional training Patrick needed. Good driving is described as subtle and responsive rather than brute force.
