Although I have to hand it to Mazda, the MX-5 Cup Pro Series looks to be some great racing.

I could be pro tomorrow by getting a Grand Am license.

One need look no further than some of the drivers in the back half of the fields of ALMS, Rolex, World Challenge, and Grand-Am Cup to know that skill is not a pre-requisite to becoming a "Pro" driver.
