F1 Zodiac

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Alain Prost ('93)

I've always thought he was one of the top 3 F1 drivers of all time (Clark and Lauda are the other 2).

 

[astrosdude91]

Senna. Not too bad. I think he's pretty good.

 

[PeterJB]

If I include other racing series' then I get Tim Harvey for BTCC, Carlos Sainz for WRC, Derek Warwick, Yannick Dalmas and Mark Blundell in the 905 for Le Mans, and Alan Kulwicki for NASCAR.

To make this easier for people if they want more than one motorsport:

All you 1997 people have got some real exciting drivers! Villenueve, Zanardi, Stewart, Kanaan...pity you couldn't have witnessed it live (though admittedly I barely understood or appreciated it myself at the time! I do remember Villenueve's championship year though).

 

[Grand Prix]

Nice.

F1 - Alain Prost
Indycar - Bobby Rahal, also won the Indy 500 that year
World Sportscar Championship - Derek Bell and Hans-Joachim Stuck


Not that any of it matters.

 

[nitrorocks]

I wish I saw Group C

 

[cgr-10]

1997

F1 - Jacques Villeneuve, already covered him, a great driver.
CART - Alex Zanardi, a truly inspirational driver.
Indy Racing League - Tony Stewart, one of my favourite NASCAR drivers.
Indy Lights - Tony Kanaan, possibly the best driver never to win the Indy 500.

That's an unbelievable set of drivers, don't think there's any doubt about that. Wish I'd actually been around to witness these guys in their championship seasons!

 

[hawkeye122]

Ugh. Another Schumacher.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

I'm waiting for a Fangio

 

[jcm]

Senna. Not too bad. I think he's pretty good.

Meh, he's okay. Pretty boring though.

 

[mattythedog]

Mika Hakkinen. Was he good, I guess he was to have won two WCs?

 

[niky]

^Niki Lauda.

Eh. Figures.

 

[Lizard]

Schumacher.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

I'm waiting for a Fangio

Juan Manuel Fangio II won the IMSA Camel GTP Championship in my year http://www.driverdb.com/champions/1993/

 

[J-PaP]

Niki Lauda for me.

 

[GTPorsche]

1988 was a pretty good year for champions.

Ayrton Senna
Martin Brundle
Danny Sullivan
Rick Mears (Indy 500)
Scott Pruett
Tommy Kendall
Dick Johnson

 

[Jimlaad43]

Seemingly, I am a Schumacher

 

[nitrorocks]

Juan Manel Fangio II won the IMSA Camel GTP Championship in my year http://www.driverdb.com/champions/1993/

Are you sure that wasn't Juan Manel Fangio II?

 

[Hun200kmh]

That's what he wrote. Btw, the second name is Manuel

 

[Centura]

Ayrton Senna ('91).

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Btw, the second name is Manuel

I already knew that and had it written down on the page infront of me and still managed to get it wrong!

 

[Cowboys965]

Damon Hill.

 

[DK]

I'm a Michael Schumacher.

 

[Cowboys965]

I'm a Michael Schumacher.

2004?

 

[gorsad]

Mika Hakkinen

 

[Wiegert]

Already knew I was Ayrton Senna before I checked the link.

 

[daan]

John Surtees. Nice, considering my love both for cars and for bikes

I'm almost keeping you company. I'm a Jochen Rindt.

Mika Hakkinen. Was he good, I guess he was to have won two WCs?

It's comments like this that makes me feel old.

I'm a Senna/Hoy/Kankkunen and it makes me feel old too...

Seriously... I guess based on my own age, I really assumed I would get more of the Laudas, Piquets and Sennas (at the latest).
But really, an M. Schumacher?? Hell, i was in college when he won, and nearly finished at that.
Jackie Stewart was apparently soooooo long ago. The earliest champ I remember, though, was Andretti. I was young, but I knew then that I wanted to go fast.

 

[Sohvakettu]

Niki Lauda

It's comments like this that makes me feel old.

That was my reaction too.
