I used to race karts at Mr Mansell's track in Devon. I'll never forget my first proper race weekend; During the last novice practice session he came out in his kart & spent at least half a lap with each novice, showing them how it's done. I'll never forget him outbraking me into the first turn like I was stood still, before tapping his lid (yes, he had the same design for his kart helmet) as a follow-me gesture. And I instantly gained 4 tenths just by copying his braking and turn in points. To share the same piece of track with my boyhood hero is something I'll never forget. Nigel is the real deal.

I used to think he was boring till he came in a restaurant I was working at (1994 ish) and he was the most lovely guy. Can not praise him high enough. He did not act the 'big I am' at all, but made every one in the restaurant, all the staff and all the other guests, feel like a million dollars. He was just kind, decent, modest, cool, thoughtful and just very, very awesome. Oh, and did I say funny, because he puta laugh or grin on everyone's face that night. Proper legend.

@taliamason7986 6 жыл бұрын

Sonu03785 Hardly any Driver was a sportsman in those days. Its was all about doing whatever it took to win even if it did mean deliberately cutting off your team mates on the corners. Prost also did it to Senna when they were teammates at McLaren and vice-versa and Nikki Lauda did it to James Hunt and vice-versa. So by that logic almost no Champion let alone multiple World Championship Driver pre-Schumacher would win in today's F1.

He should have had 2 more world titles but had that infamous tyre blow out when well in the lead of the Australian GP in 1986 and had the car cut out on him at the Canadian GP with only half a lap to go and a 70 second lead a problem with the Ranualt engine dropping revs and cutting out, if he had hung on to win that race he would have been world champion then as well.

I cannot recommend Nigel's autobiography enough. Nigel and Mrs Mansell were technically homeless as they slept in a transit van to fund Nigel's racing career and this was before he had sat in an F1 car. The sacrifices and setbacks suffered by them would have destroyed any normal couple, but they just picked themselves up and brushed themselves off after every kick in the guts. Despite Nigels reputation for being boring, it is easily the best sporting autobiography I have ever read. Do yourself a favour and read it.

He’ll always be my racing hero, first race I watched as a young lad was silverstone 92 and that was all I needed to be hooked for life. If Lady Luck had been on his side he’d be a 3 time champion.

And now they kidnapped him, shot an arrow through his head and pushed him down a ski slope in a car that said t*tt**s 'n beers!

Love the Nige, hands down the fastest man ever to drive a F! car on his best days. Ultra aggressive bravery while retaining complete control on the edge like no other. But sadly Nigel also had numbers of bad days as well, too many.

I’m a massive Mansell fan, but I think your assessment is on the money; Mansell could often be bested by Senna, who was constantly “on it”, and Prost, who was always thinking of the very single way of going faster, smoothly. Senna and Prost were the very best. That Mansell can be spoke of in the same sentence as them tells you he was aaalmost up there with them. No shame in that whatsoever, and it probably marks him out as one of the top five of all time. Given his CART and BTCC exploits though, I’ll always see Mansell as the most “complete” driver, in all categories, up there with Clark and Stewart, if just a shade behind the absolute best in F1.

That blonde over Nigel’s right shoulder is in the background often. I wonder how much she got paid

I watch this show for the cars... since, let´s be honest, it IS about cars! Get that through your heads before writing one more word dudes! That lap was insane! When a car bounce like that in a turn, you probsbly should try to get it under control...
