Injured in a terrible accident on the Lausitzring in 2001, Alessandro Zanardi lost his legs and was told he would never race again. Yet he came back and competed with specially-equipped cars in touring car class racing between 2003 and 2009. Then he became a medal-winning handcyclist and took two golds and a silver at the 2012 London Paralympics after winning the handcycle class at the New York Marathon in 2011. In 2014 he raced a BMW Z4 GT3 in touring car racing again. Some people just don't give up!
