You hand a top driver a poorly set up car he should still be able to finish the race without being a rolling hazard.
I used to thinks this until a prodriver took my badly setup car and drove it, he said it impossible to drive this....

If the setup is bad your not going to enjoy driving the car and crash alot as the car is unpredictable.You need to make sure the setup is easy to drive or they won't be able to stop crashing and won't enjoy the hobby.

I also recently drove a car with a very slow radio latency, there was so much delay between input and the car responding it made it impossible to drive.
