It's very rare, but there are "naturals" in certian things that come along once in a while.
There was a guy who built his own shifter Kart from scratch, having zero kart racing experience, and took the track record on his first ever day of racing, never having had any instruction or training... This was against Tony karts and Zip karts and all the Italian kart makers who have spent millions in RnD over 25years of competitive kart racing.
I've seen similar events in circle-track engine building. It takes most shops 20+ years of hard earned experience and technique to get a combo down for an engine that is both competitive and can last through a whole season. Most guys who build there own either perform like turds, or blow-up before finishing a single race. Then, every once in a while you get some backwards hick that can barely read, and has almost no budget, and puts together a championship engine on a shoe-string budget using nothing fancy, and it runs competitively and lasts a whole season with no breakdowns.
Don't judge a guy too quickly. We've never seen it for E-bikes yet (that I've seen at least), but there are "naturals" out there who can dominate something in a first try with a barebones budget. Very very rare, but it does happen sometimes.
