Tsuchiya is a mediocre hack who frequently got his ass handed to him by Italians.
How crap is Super GT's lineup, talent-wise?
Wasn't Andre Lotterer a racer there?
So he's like you or me then.
I can shift gear pretty damn quick too when everything's warmed up
racing talent is a pyramid. for every 10 people on one level of talent, theres one above them. step onto that level, and theres 1/10th as many above you yet, all the way until you get to formula one. i dont think people gazing up at the pyramid from the safety of an egyptian sand-pounding circle should give their input on how some driver is a talentless hack

Everyone gets their ass kicked by someone at multiple points
Will there ever be anybody to top him? Or at least even match him?

SuperGT is a weird series in terms of talent pool.
There are a few really good drivers, mostly foreign, who are using it as a stepping stone on their way up. There are quite a few more whose careers have stagnated in Europe and who are racing there long-term because the money is good, and a few has-beens making a few more bucks in the drivers' seat. Then you have the domestic drivers, most of whom are mediocre (by top-level racing standards), with a few good ones (Tsuchiya in his day, Taniguchi) and a bunch of shitty "gentleman driver" types.

...and women.

...and there's the best european driver to date because he likes animu and Audi is nice to him.
