Im an auto racing fan....So I just wanted to see who else was and, who they think the greatest driver of all time is.......and who their favorite is........here are mine.....

Greatest ever - Mario Andretti.....Has won every major race besides Le Mans.......Goes fast in anything......Still tests cars for magazines....

My favorite - Micheal Schumacher..........5 time F1 champ.......most wins in f1 ever.........Drives like no other........

Keichii Tsuchiya. Master driver from the race circuit in Japan. He has designed various suspension and performance products (Kei Office) in addition to being a professional driver.

Ayrton Senna hands down. Statistically he's not the greatest, but he was driving with pure passion. Just because Schumacher has the most wins doesn't mean anything. He has no competition, Senna competed with the legends of F1, Piquet, Prost, Lauda, Mansell, etc., he was the king on wet tracks and still holds the most pole positions.

To me Senna is the king, Jim Clark is a close second.

Takumi Fujiwara - initial d lol

Alain Prost... since I am sorta named after him. Seriously...

Post by **Sircnay** » Wed Jul 23, 2003 5:02 am

Keichii Tsuchiya, most definitely. He's one hilarious guy and he's an awesome awesome driver and has designed so many great things.

Senna.

For all time legend, I say Mario Andretti as well, but as for up and coming driver, I'm with Juan Pablo Montoya. Schumacher may win races but I don't like his driving style, he's a little too aggressive. Same goes for Dale Earnhart (sp?) I didn't like his style, "Do anything at all costs to win"

i dont watch too much races, but Tiff Neddell and Jeremy Clarkson are my favorite drivers. They dont drive anymore but they host Fithh gear and Top gear. They test drive super cars and man can those guys drive. I download all there videos from http://www.racingflix.com

Mario Andretti probably the best of all time IMHO. He's won championships in every type of car. He's retired and can still qualify on any grid. An amazing talent.

MSchumaker is probably the best right now. Other drivers deserving consideration: Senna (though his career was cut short), Fangio, (of course) AJFoyt, Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark (who like Senna, also died too soon)

How dare you leave out rally racing!Not knowing too much about racing history, and just going on someone I know is good and used the drive the Lancer Evolution for Mitsubishi (I love that car) I am saying Tommi Makinen.

Schumacher, Prost, Senna, Andretti, Dave Bell, Makinen...and the list goes on, but i sure like Schumacher...he wins ALL the time. except for this season in F1, it's a good competitive season.

Post by **AJ-SPEC** » Wed Jul 23, 2003 5:02 am

Yeah, Mackinen's the sh*t. i'm liking Peter Cunningham for speed touring on speedvision, ever since he started driving the Nissan spec v. D1 though, I like Koguchi. His ****'s so smooth! I haven't seen too many other people though. Oh, can't forget NOB, damn! I've seen him lose though, an old option 2 video that I have. JGTC, I like the Castrol Tom's supra, the R34 (forget which company) and of course, the Daishin Silvia. ooohhhh, **** yeah!

i like schumaker.i hate dale earnheart ( i bet i misspelled it)

Post by **n00b240** » Wed Jul 23, 2003 5:02 am

I think Im gonna go out on a limb and say Takumi Fujiwara. Im in the caribbean right now so this equals lots mountain driving, and there is no damn way Im gonna take a corner going downhill at 100 km per hour, you have got to be f***ing kidding, its a good thing its only a cartoon...

Post by **jacob360** » Wed Jul 23, 2003 5:02 am

Tommi Makinen and Marcus Gronholm. I like what I'm seeing in Petter Solberg, alot of potential for the future. Of course Shumacher, and I like Montoya too. There are alot of good drivers in many different series, too many to list.

I've only been really into racing for a few years, so I don't know much about the greatest in history. Ever since I started getting Speedvision my love of motorsports has grown quickly. Too bad it turned into NASCAR TV.

Post by **skydragoness** » Wed Jul 23, 2003 5:02 am

mostly drivers i know, and like. not necessarily the greatest drivers of all time:

carlos sainztommi makkinenpeter solbergshauna marinus (you go girl!)derek bell (the audi driver from ustcc)roger foo (i think that's his first name??)and that guy who was driving the proto-type GT car, older driver, i think his name starts off with Michael and the last name starts with a 'W'. very crazy driver.

I think Gronholm is definitely going to be one of the all time greats when he's done racing. He's looked damn near unstoppable when his car didn't crap out.

I'd add Markko Martin to the list of possible "greats" in the making.

On a side note, I believe Rally Deutschland is next week, with coverage on the Speed Channel.

Yeah, it got to the point that when I would watch a rally, I would pretty much accept that a Gronholm win was a given. He is so incredibly calm and smooth, plus he never blinks.

Markko Martin has good potential, but I think he'd do much better if he wasn't in a Ford. Sebastian Loeb is also a young driver full of promise.

Bill from the Indy meet is my favorite, to finally see someone in person do the stuff he did in Redrocket's car and my car, phew, amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

He is on NICO too, his name is "The B Ride" I think.........

Yoshinori Koguchi. D1 competitor and badass drifter extraordinaire. He drives the Falken 180sx, it's red now, it used to be green.

Man, the 240 is like Japan and most of the world's favorite drift car (arguably) and here we are on it's forum and we don't even know who are hero's are...

(:D j/k, if it were up to me, JGTC and D1 would be on speedvision!)

Post by **SkylineDriven** » Wed Jul 23, 2003 5:02 am

one of the top pro Drift drivers in Japan.
