I can answer this in a more general way.

I have never raced except allegedly in an informal way, on a closed course with professional drivers, natch.

When I started tracking my fuel economy, it was instantly kind of addictive as it made me compete against myself. I now regard fuel economy as simply a different kind of performance.

It's fun again now that I have a different car to see what it and I can do together as man and machine, which also isn't unlike the traditional enthusiast mindset, just unleashed in that different way.
