My favorite Williams Formula One car, I designed, is the FW08—the car Keke Rosberg used to win the 1982 drivers...
Every era has its own greatest racing car. I would like to go back to my boyhood where I have fond memories of a car that made a real impact on me, the Maserati 250F. Nick Mason gave me a wonderful opportunity to drive his 250F. It didn’t let me...
Al Holbert—winner at Daytona, Sebring, and many times at Le Mans; Peter Gregg—4 times winner at Daytona; and Jim Busby—2...
I don’t have one favorite racecar; I have several: the Daytona Coupe I raced at Le Mans with Dan Gurney,...
My greatest racecar has to come from my Formula One experience. Every part of an F1 car is designed to go very, very fast and each car is specifically made for maximum speed. From the start of my motor racing career, I had many good experiences in other cars of...
Without a doubt, the racecar that gave me the most pleasure, and therefore my greatest racecar, was the Silk Cut...
Looking back, the 1980 Formula 2 season with Ted Toleman was a terrific time to be racing. The Toleman TG280...
Personally, I have driven some really good machines. I had a 917 Porsche that I thought was a truly remarkable car, and a 962, too. The only Indy car I had wished I had been able to race was the turbine car, because it was so dominant when it ran....
I have driven numerous racing cars over my 30 years and many eras of motor sport. I drove in several...
I have been asked, a number of times, which branch of motor sport I enjoyed the most: driving, management, or loosely speaking designing, as my career has encompassed most of those disciplines. Although cars have raced bearing my name, I cannot really take any responsibility for their design; it was...
Unquestionably, one of the most dominating racing cars was the Mercedes W196, particularly with drivers such as Fangio and Moss...
My brief motor racing career started somewhat by accident. In 1954 I purchase a secondhand Aston Martin DB2/4 from Brooklands of Bond Street; the car came with a one-year membership to the Aston Martin Owner’s Club. Reading the AMOC booklet I noticed there was a race meeting at Snetterton in...
Frank Williams and Patrick Head are probably the best blokes I have ever driven for, so, it should come as...
In 1981, I set up my own team to do the Indy 500. I bought a McLaren M24 Cosworth and...
The best cars I ever drove were the John Player Special, which gave me the 1972 Formula One World Championship, and the Penske that took me to many Indycar wins—and the 1993 Indy 500, too. Both cars could adapt to the different circuit characteristics that each championship series, at that...
I’ve driven many types of cars, Indycars, NASCAR, Sprint Cars, the whole bit; I started at the old Devil’s Bowl...
During my motor racing career, which started in 1974 at the tender age of 10, I’ve driven most forms of...
When drivers are asked about their greatest racecar, many look at cars that have won races or given them great success in their careers. I look back and try to remember the car that has given me great fun and holds good racing memories. So, if I look back in...
My time with the BMC competitions department saw me racing the big Austin Healeys, and later racing at Le Mans...
I’ve driven many racing cars during my career and, for me, a great racecar has to have exceptional acceleration and...
There is no doubt in my mind that the Grand Prix Alfetta is the greatest racing car of all time. Just look at the facts for a moment. The 158 was a pre-war chassis, a voiturette, which managed to race for eight seasons over a span of fourteen years, with...
My love of motorsport is more a love of speed rather than racing, although it could be considered as a...
The inspiration behind the concepts and designs of Lister cars came from the pre-war Mercedes racing cars that would today...
My greatest racecar would have to be a choice between my first F5000 car, the 1969 McLaren, or, the 1970 McLaren Can-Am car. The first Formula 5000 car I raced was the McLaren M10A with the big rear wing. Bruce McLaren and I got the car working very well, it...
In my time as a racing driver I have had the opportunity of driving many types of racing car. I...
I truly believe a good car does not have to do only with good performances, but also its opportunities to...
I have driven most types of racing car from Formula Ford to Formula One and from the best in sports cars to that Volvo Estate car in the British Touring Car Championship. I have been asked about that car on many occasions. As a professional racing driver, sometimes to remain...
