Some of sports’ most iconic figures are motoring legends; inspiring generations of drivers and petrol-heads throughout the years. Here, you will find the top ten motoring legends who were the best of the best and earned a special place in the history books.

 Sir Stirling Moss

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.

Lewis Hamilton

First win: 2007 Canadian Grand Prix

Mario Andretti

First win: 1971 South African Grand Prix

As one of only two drivers to win races in Formula One, IndyCar, World Sportscar Championship and NASCAR, Andretti is famous across the motoring world for his adaptive skill and technique.

Sir Jackie Stewart

First win: 1965 Italian Grand Prix

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. Famous for his first race in which he took a staggering 25 second lead in 2 laps; Stewart is now a stalwart advocate for improving Formula One safety for both drivers and crew.

Richard Petty

First win: 1960 NASCAR Grand National

Nicknamed ‘The King’, Petty has won the NASCAR Championship seven times and has tallied up a record 200 races during his career. Inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2010, Petty has had a colourful career off track as well as on it, with numerous film and television appearances to his name.

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.
