My hero Alex Zanardi has just won the first race of the World Touring Car Championship at Brno in Czechoslovakia.
He put his BMW on pole, was second on the first lap and then passed his team mate to take the lead and win. What a guy. Apparently the flowing nature of the circuit suits his driving with hand controls.
On the slow down lap he celebrated with a couple of Champ car style doughnuts - and it's reckoned the po-faced stewards will fine him for that.....
It's Zanardi's second win in World Touring Cars.
