Your Top 5 racing drivers of all time???

[83SY]

Only 5 is a bit tricky, but from the top of my head:

Ayrton Senna RIP (in anything on 4 wheels ) :notworthy:
Walter Rohrl (in the Group B Audi Quattro ) :supz:
James Hunt RIP (1973-1976 ) :smokin:
Petter Solberg ( in a bright Blue Scooby Do ) :thumbs:
Kimi Raikkonen (in F1, not Rally) :smt023

Walter Rohrl ! Awesome driver :beer:

Petter Solberg was close to my top 5 + I've meet him & he's the most down to earth bloke in the sport

You're NOT wrong there m8 :thumbs: That Group B AUDI Monster lookes like a handful :notworthy:

I've not had the pleasure of meeting Petter S. but he always comes accros as very down to earth and it's one of the reasons he's in my top 5 :beer:

In the Senna film Senna refers to the english chap he used to race against that was the best person he had ever raced against. Although I cant remember the name I think he must me a top 5 contender.

Met P.Solberg at Wales rally GB. Waiting to do notes round the special stage in the millennium stadium Cardiff, he parked next to us and just came over and asked how we were getting on etc! Such a nice bloke :beer:

Also met Travis Pastrana chatting in the signing on que for half hour not knowing who he was until we left & he was swamped for autographs! Again very down to earth guy :smt055

Terry Fullerton ran a karting team & owned Fullerton Karts when I was in juniors. I just remember him as a rough looking dude that smoked 60 a day but I'm told in his day unreal in a kart!

Getting a mention from senna as the greatest driver he's raced against! I'd imagine that was a proud day for Fullerton :notworthy:

I'm only spreading my stories of man love!

To be fair tho Shim P.Solberg is an incredible driver :-D

To continue my stories... When I worked for Honda I won a sale competition in which top 20 salesman from each region went to Goodwood for the day driving everything from the honda hovercraft to the Nsx finishing with a dinner / evening at Goodwood house with eddie jordon, Murry walker & Dave Richards.

The winner (top salesman) got to sit next to Murry Walker (me) and I asked him who was his top driver of all time? He said Prost! Of course I put him straight and told him Senna was the man! Murry was a great bloke and didn't stop talking the whole evening artyman:

#5=Kristensen

Thats a very good shout out, he is a legend, im a big fan of Andre Lotterer, think he can get to the same status as Kristensen in a few years

[83SY]

#5=Kristensen
#4=Senna
#3=Toivonen
#2=Mcrae
#1= Jackie Stewart

Just my opinion but I can't stand Jackie Stewart :banghead:

Just my opinion but I can't stand Jackie Stewart :banghead:

I never used to be but the more i read the more i like him for his ability behind the wheel of what was probably the worst era in F1 history :supz: and the way he chaged the sport for the better

I agree that he did alot for the safety of the sport but I don't rate him as a driver. I think back in those days anyone had a crack at it! One minute a mechanic or engineer next F1 driver??? Unlike Senna for example who was always outstanding from an early age and so focused on himself and winning nothing else mattered!
