I still maintain JC is a good driver. From what I have seen him do on the shows, I think he is a lot better than me.
Comparing him to a racing driver is doing disservice to the latter. But I still maintain he is going to better than most people you see driving on the road today
Here's how I see it froma skill standpoint:
Average road driver < Journos/enthusiasts < Track day fiends <<< Club Race drivers <<<<<< Professional race drivers <<< Champcar/GP2/DTM/BTCC/Nascar, Le Mans et al <<< F1/WRC/Moto GP <<< Kimi, A_lonso, Loeb, Rossi <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Michael Schumacher = God
