Watch a video of Mark Stigelow (LOL).... and watch how quiet his hands are... how relaxed his driving is.

"every time you turn the wheel you're going slower".....


That statement is in no way meant to say Mike needs driving instructions!! Please don't read that into this comparison.... I'm using it because there are good videos of both guys around here that can be easily viewed. I use this because viewing the two - you'd SWEAR that Mikes car is probably way faster... it LOOKS fast. And it's great driving - or as I'd call it as a skier a fine bunch of linked recoveries!

While we know about car set up etc - and we could argue these points all day -- I'll repeat -- I'm only using this as an EXAMPLE for comparison sake... not a statement of who's better or the cars are this or that....

I really like this idea. Takes the individual cars out of the equation and puts it on the drivers.
