I'll repeat, Patrick Bedard was on on IndyCar team in the '80s, and drove in two Indy 500 races. That alone should tell you Patrick knows how to drive, and race. Csaba Cere has competed in many races, including fifteen 24 hour races. That alone should tell you that Csaba knows how to drive, and race.

IN ADDITION, they drive performance cars for a living. Nonstop. They drive on race tracks, they drive on drag strips, they drive on skid pads, they drive through slaloms, and they drive in traffic. And all the time, they're trying to get as much as possible out of the cars.

My original post was simply in response to a guy who said "LOL, the guys at Motor Trend and Car & Driver can't drive." My opinion is that they can drive, and I backed it up with a few arguments. If you want to provide arguments of why they can't drive, then by all means go for it. I'm all ears.
