Default The Greatest Racing Driver of all time.....

The Greatest Racing Driver: Tazio Nuvolari






Scott, who thanks Will for his assistance below. BTW, this is copied without permission from the great British racing magazine "Motorsport". Consider this an advertisement/testimonial for that magazine.

In that car he's better off just leaning right or left.

Great article, and artfully written. Do we know who the author is? He's got some great phrases in there, my favorite being, "... were the inevitable product of the same impossible cocktail of control, improvisation, audacity and balance..."

Casey, who wants to sip a and listen to Scott tell us another bedtime story...
