Today's community question: Who's the wildest racing driver of all time?

08 Mar 2016

Some racing drivers don’t adhere to the old adage, ‘smooth is fast’, instead choosing to push the limit at every opportunity. Gilles Villeneuve was once such driver who loved a bit of forceful driving. His dual with Rene Arnoux at Dijon in 1979 has gone down in history as one of the greatest battles of all time. His car control was masterful and his bravery was breathtaking, but there are plenty of other drivers who pushed the limit just as far.

So we want to know: who do you think is the wildest driver of all time? Let us know your suggestions!

That guy was one hell of a driver!

Is this the god of internal combustion in his spare time?

Yes I knew the guy really well and my dad raced along side him amazing car controll

Ayrton senna :’) R.I.P.

McRea

Almost every rally driver, but Colin McRae and Ken Block stand out the most to me. Ken always crashed a lot in the wrc, and Colin McRae was always pushing the limits, R.I.P.

Solberg is better than ken block

I knew i wasn’t the only one who’d say McRae

Ken block isnt an amazing driver, like you said he crashed a lot…. Sure he can do some donuts in his party ford, but he CANNOT be compared to the Legend McRae! Ugh! How dare you!!
