If a race car was perfect, if a race car was easy to drive and you could pass anyone, anytime you wanted, none of us would ever retire. Why would you if it was easy? I don’t want to hear about it being too hard to pass or too hard to drive. Hello! It’s supposed to be hard. It’s a race car that goes 200 mph. If you are going to be a professional race car driver, then you are going to have to get up on that wheel and work the car.
