Alessandro Zanardi was an established professional racing driver, FIA Silver-graded, who competed across single-seater and touring-car championships over a career spanning from 1989 to 2009. He drove for Williams in Formula 1, raced in International Formula 3000 and the World Touring Car Championship for BMW Team Italy-Spain, and made brief appearances in DTM and IMSA endurance racing late in his career.[1]
Zanardi's racing record across 165 starts yielded six wins and 16 podiums. His most productive seasons came in International Formula 3000 between 1989 and 1991, where he took two wins and six podiums from 11 starts. In Formula 1 he made 42 starts for Williams across the 1990s without a podium finish. His return to racing in the World Touring Car Championship from 2005 to 2009 produced four wins and four additional podiums across 105 starts, with his best championship finish coming in 2009 when he placed 12th in the standings.[2]
In the World Touring Car Championship he was closely matched against Alain Menu, an established professional with 178 starts in that series, but regularly finished behind Gabriele Tarquini, the 2009 World Touring Car Championship champion. He finished ahead of Nelson Piquet, a three-time Formula 1 champion, in at least one encounter.
