If that makes any sense?

Yes -- perfect sense. Initially you're feeling around learning the limits of the car. On a new track, for me at least, you're learning the scary bits slowly -- and trying to make up time and push the car hard on the parts you know (or that are easier to figure out). So there's that tendency, when on track with other cars, to overdrive a bit to catch or pass the cars ahead.
Balance. The "B" word. This is starting to sound a little too "Kung Fu", eh? "The grass blade blows in the wind; it bends yet does not break"...
