Don't denigrade Driver Skill. I have a friend (an ex Morgan Racer) that seems to be able to match and pass My skill in almost anything.
I totally agree. The driver is the most important element. OK this example below shows an under average Lotus driver driving an over average performance car. And then he crashed at 2:50. It is a very striking example of a hasty out-of-smooth driving style vs. a relatively underpowered but smooth driven car, the Miata who makes the video.
