Without doubt the greatest racing car is one I’ve not driven. I’ll explain later. It’s my hero’s, Jim Clark’s Lotus...
My first racing was in motorcycles on a Triumph 350. That would be in 1958 while I was in Japan serving with the Marine Corps. They were good times in between many bad times, the racing was very amateurish, but very enjoyable all the same. After being home for around...

As far as I’m concerned the greatest racecar I ever drove is the car that gave me the greatest happiness in my motor racing career. It is the qualifying car that put me on pole position at the 1997 Indy 500, which is my Treadway G Force GF-01 IRL car....
I suppose the first question one has to ask is how one defines greatness in a racing car. One of...
Without doubt, I have to say my greatest racecar is the Jaguar XJR-9 LM that took me, Jan Lammers and Andy Wallace to victory at Le Mans in 1988. The car was designed by Tony Southgate and was ahead of its time using a full carbon fiber monocoque and undercarriage...

In all my career, the very best cars I ever drove were the 1986 Benetton B186-BMW and the 1987 Ferrari F1/87 V6. Both cars had the really big turbo power, the big rear wheels, and went like rockets. They were so fast they were nearly uncontrollable, but I liked those...
To be honest, I’ve had a lot of great racecars in my career and it’s very difficult to select just...
I’ve been associated with many great racecars over the years, and for the most part Indycars. I’m particularly proud of the 1970 and ’71 Johnny Lightning cars that Al (Unser) Senior drove and won with. In 1971, Mark Donohue in the Penske McLaren was seen by many as the clear...

Being Brazilian, my inspiration for motor racing came from Emerson Fittipaldi. Like him, England was the place to learn motor...
Some may disagree with me, but I think a great racing car must be a winning car. Racing cars can look fantastic and nice, but if they don’t win races they’re no good. In my experience, I can completely rule out any of my Formula One cars. Unfortunately, I didn’t...

Of course, my dad gave me the talent to become a racing driver and he helped me a lot. He...
I’m celebrating 25 years of motor racing, and I say this without counting the years I spent karting. It’s difficult to count those years toward my career as it was just something I did as a very young girl. During my motor racing years I have had the opportunity of...

My early racing career started in single-seaters in New Zealand beginning first with Formula Atlantic, then Formula Three, and then to Indy Lights.

Like most racing drivers, I’ve driven many cars in my career, choosing just one as a greatest racecar is an almost impossible task. However, looking back to the late 1980s and early 1990s the Nissan Skyline GTR was a great car and dominated until they changed the regulations. In 1993,...
