Who are your favorite drivers/riders of all time? - G.Irish - 12-29-2005
For me:
Ayrton Senna
Alex Zanardi
Mark Donahue
Mick Doohan
Mike Hailwood
Joey Dunlop

ROSSI!!!!111!!! Actually... he's quite funny.
- bassmangrammy - 12-29-2005
D. Patrick....but being serious, T. Milner Jr. is a cool guy and a hell of a driver.

I've gotta say that Rossi is the most entertaining guy in motorsport in a long time. I'm still mad at him for stuffing Sete in the season opener but its hard not to like the guy.

Well damn, thats most my motorsport heroes too.... also I'd add in Perry McCarthy, not because he was fast but because of his hilarious stunts and determination to 'make it'. Also Phil Hill as well.

I like Spencer Pumpelly.
- GQROB - 12-30-2005
I have pretty much so the same motorsports heroes too, but also like a few because I met and spoke with them. David Hobbs and Sam Posey being two of them that I actually had about a 20 minute conversation with. I also like Brian Redman.

I guess we cant forget Keven Scwhantz and Wayne Rainey
- G.Irish - 12-30-2005
Schwantz and Rainey were one of the greatest rivalries. Its awesome because I believe they competed with each other in the US before moving to Grand Prix racing, and at one point I believe one of them dated the other's sister! My other pick for greatest rivalry would be Senna and Prost.
Another great rivalry that is shaping up right now is Bubba vs. Carmichael, I really hope we get to see at least 2 or 3 years of them battling it out.

When I got to go to the Road Atlanta ALMS/World Challenge weekend for free as a guest of Realtime through Vtec.net I had to hide my dislike of Pierre. He won the race and I asked some question to be polite but it was kind of a stretch... Especially since he was less than friendly the first time I met him at the National GP.
Tell you what though, Nicky Hayden is a class act. He sounds country but he seems so down to earth and cool anytime he's interviewed and he was definitely humble and cool at Laguna Seca, which is more than I can say for another former Repsol Honda rider.
- Goodspeed - 12-30-2005
Steve McQueen
Marko Djuric
Don Garlits
The Stig

Bzzzt!
Wrong
Did you even read the article on that site?
- Goodspeed - 12-30-2005
I like him better not knowing who he really is, I know some people say its Damon Hill or some other F1 drivers
- G.Irish - 12-30-2005
How do you know its the same person? It could be several different people...

G.Irish Wrote:It could be several different people...
Well, it is... although for the first 2+ seasons it was the same guy
- Ryan T - 12-30-2005
Dale Earnhardt
- G.Irish - 12-30-2005
Ok, so who were your favorite car-related people? Could be designers, founders, team owners, etc.
Of course Soichiro Honda
Colin Chapman
Gordon Murray (for no other reason than the McLaren F1)
