But seriously, going slow can still be fun if you're working on a particular aspect of your driving. The fun comes from improving over the course of the session/day... not just from driving around at speed.
You're a far more experienced driver than I am in that aspect- I spent the last few years concentrating at Solo on pushing a car to its limits to know where they are and how to predict it and deal with it. I'm just now beginning to focus on technical aspects like managing left-foot braking going in and applying power at the right time coming out, and placing the car in a specific spot to open up the line. I suppose that if/when I get really good at that part of driving, I may be able to enjoy driving well below the limit.
