I'd figure the car 50%, support team 30%, driver 20% or something like that. Is that close?
I've been involved in this sport for about 15 years now.
You can't win without a good driver, a good team, and a good car.
Lots of people think they can just hop in one of these machines, and instantly be great. I've never seen that happen yet. Invariably, the best drivers will have spent years honing their skills in slower classes.
So, if splitting the importance of each component (driver,team,car) I would split their importance equally.
