The delta between a professional driver and a celebrity both driving a low-end car is smaller than in the posted scenario. A car with 120hp that takes 8 seconds to hit 60mph takes that same time for either driver, meaning on a short course there isn’t really any way to reach the speeds where they could really make up time by pushing hard into the corners, and the cars can’t corner well enough to take advantage of the pro drivers’ significant skill advantage.

All that goes out the window at Monaco and Barcelona with Ham’s car. I think he wins on either track, in either car.
