Driving well at a DE does not necessarily mean you would be a good race driver. Race drivers have to drive well, but they also have to outbrake/pass other cars, make their car "wide" to defend their position, avoid getting caught up in accidents, drive at 10/10ths instead of 8/ or 9/10ths at a DE, be easy on the equipment, know when to go fast & when to cruise, be good at race strategy....

DEs are great, but they are not races. And I don't mean to take anything away from great DE drivers/instructors. I have seen & ridden with some very, very talented drivers at DEs. My point is simply that DEs & racing are different animals.
