I just drive fast and have fun competing with the best cars of the day.




That's the correct approach - nobody is waiting with a winner's cup at the gantry
Agree that the delivery van example is a bit too extreme - It just illustrates the essence of the wisdom that track knowledge beats HP



Nerves play a part , too. You may have a faster solo flying lap on an empty track vs a pro in a van( alright , how about a generic sedan) , but refer to my first post : I referred to a MATCH race . With Schumacher playfully tapping on your bumper in every corner - sooner or later you'll probably kiss a tree !



Pros and experienced amateurs are less than one minute apart in the same cars.

If a pro is driving a 10.00-minute car at 100% his lap time will be 10.00 minutes. If an experienced amateur is driving a 7.50 car at 90% his lap time will be less than 9 minutes.

MS would never get near the bumper of a car that is two minutes faster (driven by an experienced amateur).
