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.

Must be very humbling, for the owners of the more powerful cars

Like they say "are you sure they were racing?". Yes they were, at least the other driver was trying to race. Whether the driver pushed the vehicle to its limits is up to the driver, but the answer is still yes, they were racing
