and you thought Johnnie Walker was Harvey Keitel!
Rob Walker's family owned the Walker Whisky brand and it was the money from that that funded Rob Walker's racing activities, the wheel turns and Johnnie Walker is back sponsoring motorsport, though now the brand is no longer in family ownership but part of Diageo - http://www.diageo.com/en-row/ourbran...johnniewalker/

If you truly don't know who he is you should look him up.
He regularly cleaned Senna's clock in karting. Multi-time world champion karter from England.
When asked point blank who the best driver he ever faced was, Senna stated it was Terry Fullerton.

Didn't Lake Speed finish 2nd to Senna in the World Karting Championship one year?
Some things work out and some don't.
By the way, about Michael Andretti, I think what cooked his goose, was the fact that he kept falling off the road in his first races. By the time he got his act together at Monza, it was too late. I hope his son has the chance, and does well.

Lake Speed still drives karts during the week too. A buddy of mine was on track with him a week or two ago.
As for how many Fullerton won, I've read anywhere from 1-4 depending on the source.
Still, if Senna is saying that the best person he ever faced was Fullerton, that should be ranking him right at the top of underrated drivers considering a lot of people here haven't heard of him.
