I therefore think fitness is pretty much unimportant. Some of the fittest people I know are rubbish at driving race cars.

I also don't see the need to name drop all the time - I've worked with xxx and yyyy, aren't I brilliant. No.
No one is saying a fit person would be faster, but a good driver who is unfit will feel it, were not just talking about cardio here but also muscle endurance. Untill you start doing 20 mins races in Club F3, where several drivers today who were complaining of being tired.. they must seriously be unfit or you must naturally be super fit. So fitness is important.

Great race btw! well done.
