I disagree. Do you recall Jeff Gordon's test of a Williams-BMW a couple of years ago. He was remarkably fast.. However, when Montoya drove Gordon's car, he was remarkably slow. Gordon was a Sprint Car champ and has a well rounded background. Recall also that he won that Challenge race two years ago, beating the F1 and rally car guys at their own game.
Remember Mario Andretti? He won in Stock Cars, Indy Cars, Sprint Cars, Sports Cars and Formula 1, winning the Championship in a Lotus 79.
