Who's to say?

There have been numerous very pretty and immaculate one off race cars built, but for what ever reason a lot are uncompetitive and don't cut the mustard.

Maybe the builders are more skilled at making a pretty body and deciding what paint and polish to use than they are at determining the fundamentals required to make them be competitive?
