Most under rated driver?

[SpaceGhost]

My nomination is the Irish driver, Simon McKinley. If ever anyone deserved to have a 'No Fear' sticker on their back window, it's this guy,

Check this out too, he must have some extra sized Y fronts to carry those melon sized plums,

That Escort video was one of the best things I've watched on YouTube. I haven't heard of him before but he certainly seems like he can wrestle a car pretty well! His control on the limit is breathtaking.

Great find .

Paul Di Resta.

Indeed! I'd love to see him doing a proper rally but he just does hillclimbs. Check out the rest of his stuff on Youtube, I didn't nominate him for most under rated driver for nothing

One of the best roads in the country and most certainly the most beautiful scenery.

I was up there last month with a few other cars and did the hill climb route then continued on to the next village. The views as you come around the mountain and down towards the ocean are incredible. It forms the start of the Knockalla stage on the Donegal Rally too.

Just watching some videos on YouTube of Jean Alesi, he must of been a bit underrated with the record books not being too kind with him.

Things never seemed to quite work out for the bloke though.

Remember reading the story how he had agreed a deal with Williams then when Ferrari came knocking did a U Turn and went there instead, after some legal discussions etc, you have to wonder how things would have panned out if he had to Williams instead at a time when they were the class of the field.

try googling european hill climb.... and you will see some sights... f3000 cars on narrow roads etc etc

McKinley does a bit of circuit racing, theres a video of him at an Irish circuit I think (assuming Mondello?) and hes on a mission coming through the field of singles seaters. His Lants a bit old tech compared to some of the stuff, he drives it with guts and panache, hes sort of Vatanen and Keke Rosbergs love child
