Karl Wendlinger isn’t short of quality candidates when it comes to choosing a favourite car from his career.
The Sauber C12 Formula 1 car of 1993, that he qualified on the third row at Imola and the Donington race seared into folklore for Ayrton Senna’s remarkable opening lap, was up for consideration. So too the Chrysler Viper he used to win the 1999 FIA GT title with Olivier Beretta, take two class victories at Le Mans and scoop the 2000 Daytona 24 Hours outright against prototype opposition. The Jetalliance-run Aston Martin DBR9, with which Wendlinger and Ryan Sharp beat the all-conquering Maserati MC12 six times across the 2007 and 2008 FIA GT seasons, also had an outside chance.
