I have met sports car and super car owners, who while not actual revenue earning professional racing drivers, still have 1000's and 1000's and 1000's and 1000's of laps at vairous race tracks in various cars.
Perhaps this gent is one such person.
As shocking as it may sound, some super addicted track junky sports/supercar owners put down 5000 or more laps a year at track days - and then even many hundreds more racing in some sports car leagues/series - surely this begins to qualify people as "experienced drivers.
Oh - btw, these are the folks Porsche and Ferrari build their "entry level race cars" (GT3, GT3RS & CS's etc) for - not the autobahn and Starbucks crowd.
So - back on topic ..... there are MANY folks who have so much experience they can jump into a car and after a few minutes begin to come to grips with how a car works and then apply thewir experience and knowldge to thrashing it - and perhaps they may, within a few minutes of driving it, expose some not-so-savoury flaws...
This video of the Macca F1 may very well be such an example..... or it may not... but I am going to guess it probably is.... until someone proves otherwise...  |
Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions....
This whole topic started with the assumption of Nth that this guy could actually drive, without as single shred of proof. But, seeing the guy slamming the gas as a madman makes me and others think otherwise. It was also posted and applauded as the ultimate proof the F1 can't handle.
However, I take the positive opinion of known capable drivers over a shitty video showing some random guy going nuts behind the wheel of a McLaren, which Nth sees as "the ultimate proof" the McLaren can't handle..
So the "And you know his because... he told you so" routine applies to the starter of this topic.
