When you are on a road course, every decision matters...in auto-x you can spin your car and the worst that will happen is you usually hit a few cones so yea it is a mental thing to some degree. Besides, I think to get on a road course you have to have some kind of track licence, which means you have to go to some kind of driving school, so most people on the road course have more skill than those at autocross do, and they can push their cars just as hard as anyone at autocross without hitting the wall.
