I thinks it's half and half. He's a good steerer yes but you have to look when he was with Holden. Garry Rodgers, Perkins (Sandown and Bathurst) and Tasman Motorsport, he showed a few flashes of promise. When he moved to Team Betta Electrical (888) the rest is history.

IMO 50/50 a team at the top of it's game needs a driver at the top of his game and visa versa. a great driver can drag an average car to a good resault here and there but to be doing it consistantly it needs to be 50/50 great.

Anybody who can make CLowndes look ordinary by comparison is worth their salt as a driver, IMO. And CLowndes isn't exactly ordinary as a driver.

If it was 100% car, then Lowndes should be level pegging with Jamie, so I think that Jamie is bringing a bit extra to the game.

Wouldn't 'reliability issues' be more related to poor preparation, rather than luck ???
