5 Best Racing Drivers of All Time
January 7th, 2012 | 
Author: A topic open to contention, given the difficult nature of defining the best racing car drivers, ever, this list is based on performances 
as well as personality. Car racing is a dangerous and demanding sport, and was even more so in the past, and drivers should be recognised for their skill and bravery.
Stirling Moss
Despite never winning a world championship, Sir Stirling Moss is viewed as one of the all-time greats of Formula One racing and is especially popular among British fans. He performed to a consistently high standard of car racing, coming second four times and third three times in seven seasons. A highlight of his racing career happened outside Formula One, when he achieved an average speed of 99.2 mph while driving a Mercedes-Benz 300SLR 1,000 miles across Italy to win the Mlle Militia. His career was tragically cut short in 1962 when he crashed at Godhood.
Juan Manuel Fandango
This Argentinean racing driver achieved incredible success during his time, and won his final grand prix at the age of 47. In total, Fangio won 5 world championships in Formula One and his record included driving in only 51 grand prix but starting 48 of them on the front row of the grid. He had a knack for knowing which cars were best, and how to best drive them. Stirling Moss was in awe of him and views him as the best racing driver.
Jackie Stewart
The racing driver known for both his driving prowess and safety campaigning for the sport, Sir Jackie Stewart was the first millionaire driver. Committed to racing, Stewart secured 3 world championships and drove in 99 grand prix before turning his back on the sport after the death of his team-mate and friend, François Cevert in 1973. Stewart is a great figure within car racing, campaigning for greater safety standards and measures.

Triumph Speedmaster Review
I hope you enjoy this article about my favorite motor cycle and that you enjoy this Triumph Speedmaster review. I passed my motor bike test in July this year at the age of 43. It was something I had intended to do for some time but had continually put it off. In the United Kingdom there was an impending change in the law which would take place in February which would make the practical driving test more difficult. I therefore decided that I had better get a move on and finally get it completed. To cut a long story short, I eventually passed the test in July this year 2011 which was a great relief. Just as a side note on my first test I fell off the bike during the manoeuvres section and had to repeat the test which was a tad embarrassing.
I liked the Speedmaster and originally intended to buy a second-hand one. After checking out a few, I found that they held their price really well and a 2-year-old one was only £1500 less than a brand new one. When I drove the old and new model together there was no comparison. The new Speedmaster was a totally different machine. It is a bit shorter, but in my opinion comes with a better sitting position. However the main difference that I found and liked the most was in the handling. The old Speedmaster is terrible for cornering, it felt heavy and unsafe and was not a pleasant riding experience. The new bike, however, not only looks better with nicer bars and rear guard, but the handling is much improved. It feels safer on the road and is very easy to ride which is extremely important for me as a fairly inexperienced biker
The older model that I tested belonged to one of my friends, so I let him have a quick run on my new model Speedmaster. He could not believe the difference and has decided since then that his bike’s handling is nowhere near up to the standard he would like and as such, he is going to change. As a Triumph man, he has tested both the Storm and the Rocket.
Although the Rocket is the ultimate machine with its 2.3 litre engine, it is very heavy and cumbersome at slow speeds. It’s also very difficult to move about when stopped. That being said, it is still an awesome machine. In the end he decided to go for the Thunderbird Storm and it is now on order from the dealer. With a 1.7 litre engine it still has amazing power but feels great on the road. Well, that is according to him and I will have to wait until he gets it before I can give it a full test drive.
