Sav,
A little story on motor racing people.
My daughter (16 at the time) decided that she'd like to follow down to the Kart track because "there may be some fit boys there"
She ended up talking with a driver, young kid (13ish) at the track.
She came back to the table and summarised the conversation as :
"What a cock! He thinks he's the best there has ever been and that he is going to leave Lewis Hamilton in the dirt, for sure he is going to be an f1 world champ"
My first thought was that this is a bit hard on the young boy, but the truth is, he'll be a mighty fine racing driver.
Motor racing thrives on a Cock-sure arrogant self centred approach right from an early age.
That applies to team Principals just as much as the drivers. Maybe even more so.
"It's always someone else's fault" is the mantra.
Slot racing does have a few shouty cocks, but I don't hang out with them.
If I fail to reslot a car car promptly, its more often than not, a poorly coloured taped car. (Piss poor lane ID)

PS my daughter doesn't date motor racing people and I'm quite glad about that
