I just think this is hilarious. Never was a Schumacher fan.

There are too many to mention. A few that spring to mind straight away...

Probably my favourite F1 race of recent times with Japan in 2005. It had the now legendary pass of Alonso going round the outside of Schumi in 130R. It also had Alonso overtaking Webber at about 190mph with 2 wheels on the grass. And most importantly it had Kimi Raikkonen going from last place on the grid to first, including a superb pass on the final lap of the race to win it. This vid has all the best bits, but apologies for the god-awful soundtrack!

Watching Mansell driving in the BTCC in the pouring rain at Donnington was a bit special, some classic door-bashing touring car racing.

For sheer emotion the best I've seen was watching Alex Zanardi win the WTCC at Oschersleben in 2006. It was his first race victory since losing both legs in a horrific CART accident in Germany. The fact that it was a thrilling final lap in which he had to fight every second of the way made it all the better; nobody was doing him any favours out of sympathy, he had to win it fair and square. I don't think I've ever seen such excitement from a guy's team when he took the chequered flag. Unfortunately I can't find any footage including commentary, as I remember the commentators virtually being in tears, which added to the experience. The footage is still good though -
