2/ I guess you haven't seen exotica being poorly driven. Like many people you only see the capability of the car. It is the car and driver that makes a car fast. At the Porsche track days I have attended I am faster than the majority of Porsches. The rear bias weight doesn't make up for the fact that the owner's can't/won't drive.
Track insurance is available in the States. We also have way too much liability and litigation here with regards to event insurance and thus, event entry cost, so I wouldn't be in the least bit jealous.

See plenty of slow people under-using fast cars. I guess at least they're trying, rather than driving them to the local Starbucks? Saw an 89yr-old guy auto-x'ing his 996 C4S (very slowly), made me happy that he was still out there giving it his all, though.
