First and Second Tier Teams
I starting watching racing last year and I can't get enough of it. However, the more I watch and the more info I get the more questions I find myself asking. For instance after yesterday's Darlington Race I really starting wondering what’s the different between a top tier team and a 2nd tier team. Is it money, engineering, or is it team management. For instance during yesterdays race Kasey Kahne (my favorite driver) was complaining about engine power problems. Now granted Kasey was driving a backup car, but is there really an excuse for giving your driver a car with an engine which can't compete. So Ne-ways I would love your comments on what makes a good team a great team.
A great team has the cash and people it needs to always be getting better--figuring out stuff with the race car and making it better. If you stand still, you're going to get passed. So usually the top teams have figured out a way to get more/better data out of the car and the people to translate that data into concrete steps to improve how fast the car runs (usually through the corner). So they're always pushing the envelope with things, and sometimes they push it too far. And then, of course, the best teams need to have drivers with the talent to get the most out of the car and the communication skills to help the team take it that extra little bit during the race.
