[Central] Who´s your Sport idol?

[Derek Tatters]

Alex Zanardi

absolute legend in champ cars in the late 90's, and to watch him come back from such a huge accident and race again was amazing

Agreed, it has to be Alex for never giving up, from the early struggles of the karting days, through that awful crash and on to today.
I thoroughly recommend reading the autobiography.

[Jarbas Melo]

 

[Istvan Schmidt]

Ronaldo ( Brazil), Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna is my heroes.

 

[Nick Fine]

My racing idol is James Hunt because he drove hard and partied harder, and in the 70s that really meant something

 

[Morgan Eklöv]

Ronnie Petersson the F1 superstar whos life ended way to soon.

 

[Tony Franklin]

I Think as you get older you don't tend to look up to others as you did when you where younger.

Guys like Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, Barry Sheen seemed like gods when I was a child.

Although you can't fail to be impressed by the achievements of Michael Schmacher, Valentino Rossi etc I don't view then as Idols as such.

 

[Darren Johnston]

Growing up in New Zealand it has to be Bruce McLaren
