True story: before I became a performance driving junkie, I was a college professor. From my perspective, driving is almost entirely a head game, and maybe this is why a nerd like me is so into it. This might also be why I give a lot of thought as to what goes on inside my head when I'm driving, and now that I'm an HPDE instructor, why I think a lot about what goes on inside the heads of my students while they're driving and learning.
