And I'd driven 200 miles an hour or close to it on a racetrack before.

Driving on a public road 200 miles an hour feels really, really fast.

Actually, a little scary, yes, because you constantly think, like, on a racetrack, you know the road, you know the surface, you can walk the track most of the time, you can know if there's a dip.

On a public road, you can't know if there's suddenly a pothole.

Presumably, there's not going to be a pothole on the German Autobahn, but it does feel a little scary.

Most people I take out in a fast car, they grin.

It's a human reaction to grin when you go really fast.

But the difference between going 190 and 200 feels crazy faster.
