Once you get onto a course (AX or Track), the driver becomes a major factor in the overall performance. A good driver in a lesser car can easily smack down a beginner (or someone who just isn't very aggressive) in a much more capable car.

Nonetheless, a win is a win and its fun to see the look on the face of the drivers of much more powerful cars when they "lose" to a lowly early year Boxster.
