In 2008, neobuggy ran a poll on who would win the worlds, I was 1 of 2 people that picked Hara!
Luck has a certain amount to winning any race or other sport. Comparing sports that run a season long championships are considerably different than having that one good weekend or something with a much shorter time span. Simply the best doesn't win all the time, that's what makes sports so intriging. The NY Giants were a wild card team, the LA Kings were the 8th seed in their conference heading into the playoffs...on and on. Derrick Cope won the Daytona 500 once! Took Dale Sr. 20 trys to match the amount of Daytona 500's Derrick Cope won.
Comparing F1 and RC is pointless because whether it is 1 race or 20 races, F1 will still have 2-5 drivers with a legitimate shot at winning, yes if everybody encounterd issues a lower level team could win a GP(wouldn't that be luck though?"). In RC these days there's 2 dozen drivers, 4-5 car companies, multiple tire manf. all with equipment capable of winning the "earth's" lol
