So much power that it literally feels like someone punching you in the chest when it goes by. There is just nothing like it...

This. EXACTLY this!!
There is nothing that can prepare you for the onslaught when you are there in person on or near the starting line.
The overwhelming feeling I get when I watch these cars is that I cannot even fathom strapping myself to one of the them and going all out. The violence is just unbelievable. The pro drivers of these cars must be the bravest people on the planet, as far as I'm concerned.
