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...
