Beschreibung | Nigel Ernest James Mansell, CBE (/ˈmænsəl/; born 8 August 1953) is a British retired racing driver who won both the Formula One World Championship (1992) and the CART Indy Car World Series (1993). Mansell was the reigning F1 champion when he moved over to CART, becoming the first person to win the CART title in his debut season, and making him the only person to hold both the World Drivers' Championship and the American open-wheel National Championship simultaneously. |
The preparation, commitment and desire to win will be no less than the last time I drove a grand prix car in anger.
Fitness will be a major factor in the first race and I think that will play into the hands of drivers who have been racing recently, rather than people like me who haven't raced properly for a decade. I'am not one of the favourites to start with.
I've tried everything other than jumping out of a plane, but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car.
Racing a thoroughbred grand prix car in front of a home crowd will be a surreal and mighty experience.
