Different drivers have different driving abilities, be it avg reaction time, staging consistency, shift point consistency (or adjustability), dialing strategy, prediction and execution, .... I won't provide an exhaustive list as I'm typing on my phone, but suffice it to say that the variables are endless.

I bracket race a slow car and 85% of the time I am beeing chased. I have learned how to make driving a slower car work to my advantage. One thing I have learned is that every single driver has THE CHANCE of running a better package than the driver in the other lane. (if he or she tries hard enough) Better packages will always win. A rookie driver can on any given day cut an outstanding r/t and run right on the dial. It has happened to me as well as other more experienced drivers. Of course luck plays a big part sometimes. However, more times than not experience wins rounds.
