@patina.research Man, I really didn’t want to make this. RIP Alex Zanardi, the man I thought could never be stopped. Any accident, any hurdle, he just kept going. A big loss for me personally because he drove some of my favorite BMWs, and an even bigger loss to the motorsport community.

IT'S GONNA BE HARD TO FIX THIS ONE
Alex Zanardi, as everybody knows, lost both his legs in a near fatal accident in a champ car five years ago, but he still uses his leg to break all the other controls, though, including, of course, tier independent gear change, tier throttle, most particularly, the rank control system. The, new throttle gives him even better response, even better acceleration as a terms using the ring behind the steering. Using his prosthetic leg, he still can exert the braking force he needs to control the brake. It's got a lighter system, and he has also got a clutch and gear change system linked better, and you'll see those in operation from his onboard camera. I must have looked down and say, oh, it's gonna be hard to fix this one.
