I must say that I owe a great deal to Colin Chapman. A very charismatic man, who was many things...
The inspiration behind the concepts and designs of Lister cars came from the pre-war Mercedes racing cars that would today be regarded as Formula One cars. They were simplistic but reliable in construction, with independent front suspension, de Dion rear suspension, and tubular chassis. Many builders experimented with multi-tubes, but...

I have certain fond memories of the first single-seater racing car I drove, which was a Vanwall. Tony Vandervell gave...
I’ve raced in more than 1,000 races, although my 1,000th was just a bit of fun with Kris Nissen. I’ve driven many, many cars in that time. So, the greatest racecar I ever drove—even for just a small time—was the ATS Penske PC4. It was the same car in which...
I always loved racing American cars with V8 engines, and I think there is something special about a big V8...
When drivers are asked about their greatest racecar, many look at cars that have won races or given them great...
As a boy, my racing hero was Stirling Moss. I remember watching him on television, in 1959, racing a front-engined BRM, and that was the inspirational moment, the time I became hooked on motor racing—an epiphany. Stirling was taking on Jack Brabham in the Cooper. Cooper had just appeared on...
It’s an interesting question to be asked one’s greatest racecar, and daftly difficult to answer. Rather than look at a...
Being a driver for Scuderia Ferrari, I must say, is the most amazing job any driver can have. The opportunity...
I mean looking at it from a generational aspect and selfishly too because I own it, it has to be Tyrrell 003 designed by Derek Gardner, which won eight grand prix. It doesn’t matter how often I look at it there is always something that catches my eye afresh and...

My favorite racecar was always the latest one I won with. I’ve always struggled with the question of what’s your...
I have driven numerous racing cars over my 30 years and many eras of motor sport. I drove in several different disciplines. I had so much fun in the Gulf Wyer GT40 at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969. It was the perfect long-distance car, very comfortable to sit in...

Two Ross Brawn-designed cars were to play a big part in my racing career, both were formidable contenders and race...
My greatest racecar has to be the D-Type Jaguar. Of course, when I drove my greatest racecar it was fairly outdated. My father was in the motor business, so naturally when I left school it was assumed I’d do the same. During the 1950s in England, National Service was something...
I didn’t think it was a very good thing for a woman to drive those open and powerful cars of...

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,...
During my motor racing career, which started in 1974 at the tender age of 10, I’ve driven most forms of...
Looking back, the 1980 Formula 2 season with Ted Toleman was a terrific time to be racing. The Toleman TG280 car was superb. Brian Henton and I ended the season finishing the F2 British Championship in 1st and 2nd places. We moved, as a team, up to the dizzying heights...
My obvious choice for my greatest racecar has to be the Bentley Speed-8 which I won with at Le Mans...
I have had the good fortune to have raced many good cars in my career, from early days in Formula...
I was involved with the E-Type Jaguar right from its inception, initially as an employee under the wing of Lofty England. Following my discharge from National Service in the RAF, I had some deferred service to complete, I met Lofty at the 1959 Le Mans 24-hour race—he offered me a...
