Of course, every driver knows how to steer, but the race car's steering is extremely sensitive -- less than a quarter turn of the wheel will make the race car turn as tightly as it can. It connects the driver's body directly with the ground -- few race cars have power steering.

The third day we got to the Formula cars — 135 bhp but just 1100 lb.; no power steering, no power brakes, straight-cut gears, no padding for your butt and a tiny steering wheel — real race cars

Though I quit googling through endless pages for a race team that didn't have power steering, to say all race cars have power steering is talking out of your ass. I did find a race team stating that they used power steering in race cars for two reasons: First- The fastest gear ratios available are power gears. Second- The driver is less fatigued.

So pretty much what you're saying, is you, yourself, are a ricer. Why did you buy those $450 kouki tail lamps!? Same for your brand new paintjob. Because it made your car look cooler, not any better.
Right..
