And it is probably true. The guy is very, very talented.
The difference for Volker this year is timing/luck/consistency.
He has dominated ETS for a while now and was pretty close to WC in 2012 don't forget. He hasn't just all of a sudden appeared on the scene.
The difference isn't necessarily the fact that volkler is any better. I was told by one of the best American factory mod drivers at a race recently that at the top level (ETS, worlds, etc) that all of the guys Iin the A main have the same amount of talent. He said the only thing that matters at that level is your mind state and mentality. And that is absolutely 100% true. I you don't have the mind state of going into a race feeling like your going to win and don't have the confidence In your car (MR calling his car maximum shit) then at that level you're going in already behind the cue ball. All it will take is him to win one big race over Volker and the whole team will rise up.
do not count any of the Tamiya drivers out at world's this year
