The Lion and the F40

DateMonday, October 28, 2013 at 1:26PM

I was a massive Nigel Mansell fan from ages 12-15. He was my hero. And this photo of him testing the F40 at Fiorano just shows everything that was cool about him at the time! Quientessentially English but with a latin verve in the cockpit!

Saw Nigel race the Newman-Haas "Texaco" CART car at Road America in (I think) 1992. Qualified on pole, but had to race for the win. He was awesome to watch. At that level, even the backmarkers are damned good drivers. But Nigel could balance the car on the edge, or go over the edge and bring it back, just that little bit more than the rest of the field. He stomped some household name drivers that day.
