I think you have to base your answer to the question, “What is the greatest racing car?” on your own...
In my era, the greatest car was definitely that Lancia Fulvia…the HF. I remember driving one and thinking, “Oh goodness, if we only had one of these, it would be much easier!” That was in the mid-1960s, and those cars had a lot of success in 1966 and 1967. I...
In terms of greatest racecars of all time, clearly, Mercedes had some extremely innovative cars like the one Moss drove...
I am often asked what is the greatest racing car or what is my favorite racing car and, of course,...
I’ve had such a good career as far as driving a lot of different vehicles. But, at least in terms of open-wheeled cars, one of the cars that I enjoyed driving a lot was the Lotus 70 Formula 5000 car. I only ran, I think, four races with it in...
The Ferrari Dino was always my favorite racing car, but that was as much to do with the two seasons...

We have had this conversation before! When you get asked a question about your greatest drive, or greatest race or the greatest racecar, you always have to qualify it. I have had cars that did well that I hated, and cars that never won but were great to drive. Some...
For many years, I have been responsible, as a mechanic, for the preparation of numerous racecars. Some of which have...
Historic motor racing events and festivals allow former Grand Prix drivers, like myself, to be reunited with racing cars synonymous with our career. The 2006 Goodwood Festival of Speed was no exception to this. When I first raced in Formula One with Ken Tyrrell, it was with a Matra. At...
I have driven many cars, some good, some bad, and some that nearly cost my life. A good car I tested, but did not race, was the Williams FW14. Many people forget that I was the Williams test driver when Damon Hill won his championship. It was a fantastic car;...
I must say that I owe a great deal to Colin Chapman. A very charismatic man, who was many things...
It is an extraordinary difficult question to answer, “What is my greatest racecar?” One can consider cars one has won...
One of the best cars I have driven is the Alfa Romeo 155 V-6 Ti which I used to compete in the Deutsche Tourenwagen-Meisterschaft and International Touring Car race series in the 1990s. I drove for the TV Spielfilm and the Jas racing teams. It gave me victories, pole positions,...
I am synonymous with the Jaguar marque. It would, therefore, be strange for me to consider a car other than...
I have certain fond memories of the first single-seater racing car I drove, which was a Vanwall. Tony Vandervell gave...
I have competed in many good cars during my rallying career. My very first rally car was the Saab 96, where at Karlstad, Sweden, I got a 2nd place in my very first rally, and I was just 18 years old. I stayed with Saab for a number of years...
Prior to 1959, I ran pretty well on the mile tracks with the dirt cars, but at Indianapolis, I never...
The Birdcage Maserati is kind of a long story. I don’t know if it was the greatest racecar, but there is no question it was a great racecar, and one that I enjoyed driving. My older brother got himself involved in a sports car dealership with Carroll Shelby in Dallas,...
There have been many racing cars that have given me pleasure as a driver. Race-winning cars always spring to mind,...
The greatest racecar has to be the Ford Mustang, no question. I helped homologate it in the first place, and...
Many would assume that I would choose a Ferrari as my greatest racecar. However, although I know little about the Alfa Romeo P3, it is a car that has always fascinated me. I suppose one could loosely say they were the forerunners of the Ferraris. If I really wanted another...
Some of the greatest racecars, in my opinion, would have to be the Mercedes and Auto Unions of the 1930s....
