He raced endurance racing for awhile..
But David, how can there be an anti F1 sentiment when they mentioned
Clark, and Andretti and Ickyx etc etc(all F1 drivers)? MS is certainly
brilliant. Just due to the current state of motorracing, he doesn't get to
showcase his considerable talents in other arena's.

Indeed - as the only team mate that MS has had that presented any
challenge - Martin is a superb driver

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

Modern drivers are not as free to diversify as drivers in the "historic"
period, but, hypothetically, I think if Valentino Rossi was allowed to
follow his interests he'd race anything and everything and be quick in it.

Someone else mentioned Tim Richmond. In my humble opinion, may be the most
talented driver I ever saw. Too sad that we will never know if he would have
reached his potential.

Well not to be out done, from a New Zealand point of view, I would offer
Denny Hulme who was 1967 F1 champ, won Le Mans with Bruce McLaren (another
Kiwi) in the McLaren designed Ford GT40, raced touring cars and 18 wheel
trucks with great success in the 80s and 90s, and finally died by heart
attack during the 1992 Bathurst 1000, as a true racer.
He also went down in history as a great "Kiwi battler" when in 1970 he
suffered seriously burnt hands when his car caught fire at Indy raceway.
This was closely followed by Bruce McLarens tragic death whilst testing a
new Can-Am car, then, with his hands literally tied to the steering wheel
and gearstick, he went on to win the the CanAm title.
.02c deposited with great flourishes.
RIP Denny.

Ooops....shows you how much I know....it was Chris Amon who partnered Bruce
McLaren in the GT40....Much apologies to all concerned ;-(
He's won:
- 4 Indycar titles (n.e. Champcar)
- 52 Indycar (n.e. Champcar) races - the last at the age of 50.
- 1 F1 WC
- 12 F1-races
- The Indy 500
- The Daytona 500
- The Sebring 12hr. - 3 times!
- 8 Formula 5000 races
- The Daytona 6hrs.
- Pikes Peak Hillclimb
- 1 IROC Championship
- and countless IROC races
Mario Andretti is the man for the job.
