Gabriele Tarquini - World Champion at 56-Years-Old

[chili pepper]

LEGEND. Touring cars just wouldn't be the same without a little G.T. in the mix. The racing spirit is strong in this one.

He's never too old for this sh*t..

Well if he's 56, so am I. And it just so happens I am, so there's a little hope for me yet. From one oldish guy to another, bloody well done. Never underestimate your rivals.

1962 Great Year !!!!! i'm 56 too (and every year i feel younger ah ha ah !!! ).

Great example. It reminds us that chronological age is not the real age physiolgical age is the real age.

Gives hope to all us old fellows

56? Wow. So that means in the thumbnail he’s probably shouting “Get off my lawn!”

Anyways, nice one G.T.

Good bloke and a shining example to all ages.
Really nice to see Hyundai pull off the win as well.

I don't believe it. That's Miguel Duhamel not Tarquini!

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

that last sentence will become an instant meme hit on this forum

personally i do not like the glofirication of some seriously stupid racing we've seen this year, at times it was more luck than prowess to get through l1-3 unharmed, that's not how it should be.
also, their marketing strategy sucks, if you do not pay, all you get to watch is two minutes per race, of which 2/3 are grid girls and shiny helmets in weird angles. i don't see how they cannot either go the blancpain way (full free coverage) or at least do a sports orientated 3min. clip the day after each race. frustrating, as if they hate the audience.

Respect!!!!

Can remember him racing when I was a kid! very well done GT. I've no interest in WTCR ( or any TCR ) but from the odd race I watched it seemed a very tough contest.
