Humans are a lot more variable than car engines.

Engines are designed to repeat time and time again. You have the best engine/engineer...you've got the best starting position by far.

You see the same thing in Nascar with Hendricks organization. Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon and Junior (ha)....supplying engines to Tony Stewart's team for Stewart and Ryan Newman.

Right there, you had 5 of the top 10 drivers in the series last year.

So basically I got sub in for Jimmie Johnson and probably win a few. The human still has to perform at a level above the competition. - Christmas VacaShaun Dec 16, 08:49 1
- of course...but in auto racing; the strength of the car's design is much higher than in other sports related to talent of the athlete. - Will Hunting Dec 16, 08:53
