Agreed!

Besides, unless you are a robot, there's almost no way to drive faster & faster and have perfect timing each and every time with steering, gas and braking. So, arguably, humans who drive smooth on the tracks aren't driving hard enough.

Absolutely. That is the key, isn't it.

On certain fast turns at certain tracks, I saw the steering wheel to do that. I keep the saw'ing to a level so as to keep the lateral weight transfers from swinging too wildly. When I resort to it, I'd saw 2 or 3 times to go thru a corner and I'm able to get out of there carrying much more speed than otherwise; or, in other cases, make it thru the corner where, otherwise, I'd understeer or push thru it.
