Message: [QUOTE="xc84, post: 812040, member: 1526"] Race car driving is so inaccessible to most people it's really hard to say how hard it is to be good at it. It's not like e.g. basketball, which besides being a very athletic sport, is accessible to most kids. The pool of talent is so large that the top talent can be judged really special in a sport like hoops. And race car driving is so reliant on the equipment that it is hard to quantify whether the winner wins due to talent or equipment superiority. It's why some of us cringe at calling race car drivers "athletes"...that and the fact that they sit in a car drive around a track. [/QUOTE]
