I have many memories of competing in rallies across Europe, but one that really sticks in my mind is the...
I’ve had such a good career as far as driving a lot of different vehicles. But, at least in terms...
My favorite Williams Formula One car that I designed, is the FW08—the car Keke Rosberg used to win the 1982 drivers World Championship. I know he only won the one race with the car, the Swiss Grand Prix at Dijon, but he beat people like Piquet driving a Brabham, who...
Two Ross Brawn designed cars were to play a big part in my racing career, both were formidable contenders and...
It’s an interesting question to be asked one’s greatest racecar, and daftly difficult to answer. Rather than look at a...
I choose the 1980 Renault RE23 as a Greatest Racecar with a little controversy, you’ll see what I mean. Since the first design of the Renault turbo engine for Formula One, I was there testing and assisting in the development. The driving and work was hard, but I really enjoyed...
In my era as a race and rally driver, we were expected to assist in both the general and technical...
It is an extraordinary difficult question to answer, “What is my greatest racecar?” One can consider cars one has won...
In 1981, I set up my own team to do the Indy 500. I bought a McLaren M24 Cosworth and was reasonably successful that year finishing 3rd behind Unser and Andretti. During the race, Rick Mears had a pit-stop accident, suffering burns to his face. After the race, my wife...
I grew up designing on a drawing board, right to the end of my time in motor racing, and I’m...
In my era, the greatest car was definitely that Lancia Fulvia…the HF. I remember driving one and thinking, “Oh goodness,...
There are so many great racecars. I have always liked the Cobra, and I would be very pleased for someone to offer me a drive in one. My job gives me a very nice opportunity of driving historic racing cars for Renault. I get to drive many of their fantastic...
My first open-wheeled car was a Lotus 22, in fact it was one of the cars used in the filming...
I must say that I owe a great deal to Colin Chapman. A very charismatic man, who was many things to me. I still miss him, even today. He was the person who brought me into the sport, he became like another father to me. He was my mentor, and...
Tyrrell’s Project 34 six-wheel Formula One car was one of those refreshingly radical cars that used to come into Grand...
The 1987 season was my first year in Formula One. I had sponsorship from Lois jeans and Mr. Minardi offered...
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...
There is no doubt in my mind that the Grand Prix Alfetta is the greatest racing car of all time....
I’ve raced in more than 1,000 races, although my 1,000th was just a bit of fun with Kris Nissen. I’ve...
As far as I’m concerned the greatest racecar I ever drove is the car that gave me the greatest happiness in my motor racing career. It is the qualifying car that put me on pole position at the 1997 Indy 500, which is my Treadway G Force GF-01 IRL car....
Winning the 1970 Monaco Formula Three race was seen as my ticket to a Grand Prix future. I’d made my...
Looking back, I’m tempted to regard the Mo Nunn-designed Theodore N183, as my greatest racecar. It was one of the first carbon fiber cars; I drove it at the Race of Champions in 1984 at Brands Hatch. I just managed to scrape enough money together to hire the car for...
I suppose the first question one has to ask is how one defines greatness in a racing car. One of...
Being a driver for Scuderia Ferrari, I must say, is the most amazing job any driver can have. The opportunity...
Ron Harris was a wealthy man who had a company distributing 16-mm films, obviously prior to the days of video, who was running his own Formula Junior team. Apart from my initial experience of driving a racing car for the first time, this is the only other thing I distinctly...
I feel that 1981 was a year where I could have won the F1 World Championship, but we gave silly...
As a team manager my experience of driving racing cars is limited, although at the start of my motor racing career I did have a go at rallying and circuit racing. It was soon apparent I wasn’t going to be too successful at either discipline. To cement my decision to...
