I'm curious how many of you think you would be faster than Milka if she showed up at your local PCA club race? I agree she sucks in IRL but I'm pretty sure head to head she would shut most of you (ok us) up in a hurry.
I'm guessing Landjet would be faster than Danica though.

Did anyone see the rookie chic named Simona De Silvestro out qualify and out run Danica for part of the race in Brazil? I sure hope that girl turns out to be the anti-Danica, recognized purely based on driving talent. She placed third in formula atlantic last year.
She qualified 11th (vs 13th for Danica) in her first Indycar race. Without all the hype.

Simona is a rookie but has aready proven herself in Formula Atlantics. If she has the right equipment she could be good.

Nobody is racing today "recognized purely based on driving talent"!!! If you don't bring a big checkbook or sponsorship dollars you don't drive! Every driver has to be good at bringing in dollars and at driving. Danica happens to be pretty darn good at both. She is very good for Indycar.

I didn't say race, I said get recognition. Two different things. I hope all of the attention (media and otherwise) Silvestro gets is soley based on driving talent, and not fhm spreads and such.

I've know quite a few folks that were lights out fast, but they never make it out of the local karting club because they don't have the $$$$. Sometimes the best drivers are not always the one's in the top series, but the ones able to secure sponsorship.
