It's not about the physical effort of diving the car. It's the extra effort of overdriving the car. Making constant corrections will make you tired. For one turn; braking once, turning once, adding throttle once, will net the least amount of effort to drive the car. As a by-product, you'll be smooth and fast.

Racing, in general (cars, bikes, boats, ect), is tiresome and wearing on the body.

Seriously, you can get all of that from me being sore? You obviously should be a driving coach, you can make a fortune and you never have actually watch someone drive!

How do you know for certain I wasn't driving the way you said I should be and I am simply sore from not doing track days often and I was just using muscles more than I'm used to for driving and for holding myself in the seat?
