You can be very fit but not nessarilly race fit, there are muscles you will use racing karts & cars that are very hard to train in the gym, the only way to get race fit is by driving. Lack of experience will also tire you more because you will be more tense at the wheel & will not pick the moments to relax like an old hand would

possibly , if they are good enough that is.

Just doing laps doesnt make you ready for cars , you need to race as well , its all about learning what to do in a pack , where to place your kart , where you opponents weaknesses are and your strenghts are.

so just turning practise laps isnt evrything , you need a balanced racing diet as well before even thinking about cars.
