Have you ever watched NASCAR on road courses? Did you ever see those road course ringers dominate those tracks? Names like Ron Fellow, Boris Said, Scott Pruett, Tommy Kendall. Fellows is an ex Corvette GTR driver... have him drive. Do you really think this GM Engineer can hang with those type of guys?

He works for GM and gets free flights to Germany to drive a Z/28 at the Nurburgring. Then fly back home to a job that pays him a significant amount of money for his schooling and expertise. I would have to say that is pretty relevant.

The road racers that you mention know those road courses as they have been racing on them for years. Let me ask you this question. Have you ever had the opportunity to walk around a track before an event to get every detail of a track? Can't walk the Nurburgring can you? Ron Fellows is too busy making money announcing the races now to drive! I watched him race in Long Beach a few times back when I followed Cadillac and owned a CTS-V.
