The Best Race car Driver ever

[']['WiLIGIH'][']

"The Best Race car Driver ever" really hard to say
mmmm,I think most of the drivers who races different class have thought about racing in F1 (F1 has more fans, has a great history, more money...act.)
thats why i will chose a driver from F1
When I look at the statistics overall Schumacher comes first
but when I start to listen to my heart The Best Race car Driver ever should be Nuvolari
My opinion

Yep, Jacky Ickx co-drove the winning car with Alan Moffat. If you're interested in Bathurst history try to get a copy of Australia's Greatest Motor Race 1960 to 1999. Bit expensive (A$150 from memory), but worth buying.

Also, greatest driver? That's a hard one. No one mentioned Alain Prost yet, but then he hasn't been totally successful in forms of motorsport other than F1. I'd also have to say Emerson Fittipaldi would have to be up there somewhere. Winner in both F1 and Indy car, including the Indy 500 (1989 from memory?)
Since there's so many great drivers, maybe a top ten list would be better? How about (in no particular order), Clark, Nuvolari, Senna, Prost, M Schumacher, Fittipaldi, Mario Andretti, Moss, Stewart and Piquet. Though I might change my mind on who should be the list tomorrow....

There are so many great drivers out there and it's hard to do a comparison because of the different type of cars they pilot.

My pick : Nigel Mansell “Il Leone” (the Lion).

He is the first driver to hold both the Formula One and Champ Car crowns simultaneously.

What about Walter Rörhl and Ari Vatanen... I don't know much bout them, so you say if they would be a good choice..

Walter Rörhl sure knows how to get a Carrera GT around the Nürburgring pretty fast
