No.
/o/'s guy is a poor piece of shit with an ill fitting leather jacket and fingerless gloves that drives a pile of shit from the 80's that's slower than an automatic econo car of today.

Not even close, Itsuki actually owns a car

No, because we are /o/tists, not autists. Pretty sure this board would be better if actual autists with an enthusiasm for cars posted on here.

Wouldn't an actual autist make the perfect racer? People talk about being able to "become one" with the car and being able to "see" all the lines and "pick whichever line" they like, but the average person can only talk about those things. They will never ever understand them.

An autist COULD actually do all of those things. They could see the "infinite lines" that Initial D tried to meme about. They can truly embody "jinba ittai" and control the car better than their own hands and feet. They can feel a deeper connection to the road, with the tires, with every suspension part, than anyone else if they devote themselves to it autistically.

I could see it. All it takes is an autist fully dedicated to all things racing.

Of course, this also requires that the driver be at least moderately sociable. Remember, racing is an expensive sport. You must a) convince race teams that you're not only an excellent driver for them, but also definitely dedicated to their team/parent company, and willing to act as a cooperative business partner just like any other job position; and b) smile for the cameras. It's that last part that's really important. We've all seen the Kyle Buschs and Michael Schumakers, and yeah, they're good. But fans don't tend to like sociopaths who bump rival racers and throw autistic shitfits off the track regularly. They like the golden boys, the Steve McQueens and Dale Earnhardts and Ken Blocks. Guys who just love racing and signing autographs and the American Dream /just so God-darn much/. Not-so-coincidentally, sponsors love the teams whose drivers are golden. If fans are watching their favorite driver's every move, then they're statistically more likely to at least consider whatever name brand is plastered on their car- and that's Big Buck$.

tl;dr- lrn 2 ppl before you lrn 2 race

Maybe for time trial or hillclimb, but that stuff is mostly busrider nonsense.

The autistic devotion thing is real, though. I know a diagnosed aspie who's really damn fast, and it's simply because he spends more time practicing than a normal person would. He also seems to lack much of a sense of cause and effect, or doesn't care, which means that he drives 100% all the time and frequently ends up with a broken car, but as soon as it's fixed he goes right back to it.

The feels

Fair point, most people have no idea what constitutes 100% on their car. Hell, most of them don't know what 50% is like.
