Gloves for Driving?

[asagaai]

I have never driven a car with gloves- and wonder if it helps if you are driving spirited.

Racing car drivers wear gloves- but part of that is fire protection in case of a fire.

If I am going to really push my car on track or just spirited country runs with TC off etc, I have a pair of leather sports shoes- very thin but grippy flat rubber soles, leather upper that is tight fitting, and I prefer operating and heel/toeing using those shoes than barefoot- the soles are thin so I feel the pedals, but the rubber grips much better than bare skin of the feet.

My question is- from a person who has never used driving gloves- is there a benefit in performance terms to using gloves???

Cheers and happy safe new year all.
