From 1951 to 1962 he won races across the globe, with a reputation for pulling off last-minute saves and astonishing reflexes. An accident in 1962 ended his racing career but he continued commentator for the sports for many years afterwards.

Mario Andretti

Now forging a successful career as a racing commentator, Stewart (nicknamed ‘The Flying Scot’) competed in Formula One between 1965 and 1973, winning three World Drivers’ Championships.

So there you have it – the greatest motoring legends that have ever raced. Of course, not everyone in the world can afford a team of specialists and crews in order to stump up the cash to purchase cars for them, so for all of you, you can always find used cars for sale in Richmond or in your local area, or why not even try out a sports car experience where you can drive the car of your dreams and feed your need for speed.
