I finally got around to watching Ford vs. Ferrari, which prompted this post, but I have thought about this for awhile.
Besides having courage, because it’s dangerous, and a rich sponsor for a car, what exactly is stopping a normal person from learning to drive a stick well and being able to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Racecar driving isn’t difficult.
Being the best at anything is difficult.
It is not that different than, say, learning to play tennis. Just about anyone can learn what they need to know in less than an hour, they are just going to suck compared to someone who has spent their life mastering it.
In the race featured in the movie, top drivers averaged well over 100 mph, a good untrained racer would probably be in the 80s or 90s.
