Hmmmmmmmmmm , that sounds suspiciously like an IROC race . Identically prepared cars , drivers pull out of hat for random car selection . Race then becomes about drivers instead of cars ! Turns out the top drivers are usually the top drivers - very few "dark horse" drivers suddenly , magically excel in IROC . . . .If you took an F-1 driver out of his car, and put him in another car, would he do as well? He's an excellent driver no doubt, but he knows every little quirk about his car and has it set-up specifically for him. You change that, and it definitely has an impact on his performance.
