Best Motoring drivers have no skill

...NOT

I'll admit that many times (but not always) the outcome of their "races" look terribly suspect. But anybody that think all their drivers are talentless is clueless.

Here's Gan-san at this best in a 964 Turbo at the NBR

They're excellent drivers. All of them have had successful racing careers. However, their bias towards Japanese cars shows in their reviews. But, hey i'm not against being patriotic.

I still see their footwork and feel terribly inadequate. My freaking feet are too big to effectively heel and toe in a lot of cars.

Sweet. Would have liked to see him in a 3.6turbo. His lap in the 3.3 was only 3 seconds behind the mighty CTR.

Take the outcomes with a big grain of salt and just enjoy the footage.. BM is Japanese motoring entertainment...nothing more...nothing less. Yes they have a tendency to beat up on the germans but do you blame them? Japanese are very patriotic.

Yeah our motoring press does that bias too. Car and Driver had Chevy Malibu, Jeep SRT and some Chrysler among 10 best of the New York auto show. But they missed things like the new Lexus concept which is much better looking than the aforementioned plain Jane cars, and also the Scion FR-S which is a stunner.
