Road racing is tricky enough even when you know where you're going! It takes time, and a not inconsiderable effort, to get familiar with the, more than, 200 corners. Rookies (well, sufficiently well funded ones) will hire a car, out of season, and do lap after lap, day after day, to try to ensure they have a decent grasp of which way the course goes.

I would think that in this day and age that sims are a big part of it.
I watched a race from the mid 50's last night on YT From IOM and they were haulin' butt, but there seemed to be a little margin left for error. A steel light post had one hay bail in front of it. |
