Rick Kelly 13th? wtf? unless its unlucky 13th or something otherwise I can't see why he made it on the list, What about the likes of Lowndes and Skaife? pretty crazy to me.

JamesM · 12-19-2004, 00:54

Ask Plato.

I don't know how you could even begin to compare them, they drive different cars on different circuts with different race formats.

I've seen some DTM races and Mattias Ekstrom seems pretty bloody impressive, not to put down Marcos at all but there are plenty of brilliant drivers in Europe is all i'm saying.

How the heck did the Handbag get up so high?

Only know a few of the overseas stars there.At least Rusty and Marcos were there.

Bathurst. That is how Kelly got on there too.
