Kind of an odd article. Comparing the street and race car, points out differences as much as (or more than) similarities. And in the end, there's a slap in the face, noting that the race car doesn't have aids and thus shows who the real drivers are, so what does that say about the street car and its drivers?

If the goal was to market the street car, not sure they did a good job.

Totally disagree. Racing at that level has little to do with fast street driving or great track day skill. Racing in that series with spec cars is not just "fast driving". No face slap.

Good read. Thanks for posting Trench. I think the article did a good job of highlighting how close the gap between the street and race cars has narrowed. I also agree with chuck, no slap at all
