Skill seeker

An interesting extension of the argument that some performance cars are now too fast for the road is that the same logic can be applied to the drivers themselves. After all, how many Aston Martin Valkyrie owners will possess the required skills and confidence to drive it properly? Consider that most of the Valkyrie’s performance lurks in the dark and confusing world of aerodynamics, and that Aston claims it’s capable of qualifying inside the top 10 on the F1 grid, and you start to realise its abilities exist on a plane well beyond those of even very good drivers, no matter how big your wallet. Still, I’d love to have a go.
