Here is a really good article on how your brain processes reactions.

"When a soccer player realizes the ball is blistering towards him, there is visual information that has to be processed and decisions regarding a correct course of action. The brain then needs to send many signals to various muscles. Feet begin to move, hands might travel in front of the face, and eyes may close shut, along with many more processes. This is the work of many neurons as well as numerous systems and circuits in the brain, and what's more, you can train and enhance your skill through practice. This is how you get better at sports over time."
"The average reaction time for humans is 0.25 seconds to a visual stimulus, 0.17 for an audio stimulus, and 0.15 seconds for a touch stimulus."
I just got .266 avg reaction time on this test, and yeah I was trying my hardest Pretty average.

In racing, you have to learn where to look and what to look for so your brain knows what information its supposed to be responding to. If you can make sure you're looking for the right things, your reaction times will greatly improve with practice.
The main difference is not that I have alien reaction times, but that I've been playing racing sims since I was 8 (I'm 26).. and with a wheel for 12 years.
ALSO I'm about to get online to test some combos if anyone wants to join me in the club lobby. But my TV is more broken than it was before
