    Piquet ? Prost ? Mansell ? Senna ?

    I can't imagine it being anyone outside of those 4, and Senna had a lot of success with McLaren AFTER the turbo ban....
    I'm leaning towards the one of the first two...

    DQ's go to Lauda and MS, so don't even mention them, even though Niki won a WDC in one of those years (by default IMO), his main success was in the 70's.

    Senna was the fastest, The Professor the most successful.

    gilles...he was spectacular! i think we all missed out due to his death. he still owed we fans sooooo much to get excited about!!!

    senna was the greatest. like gv, we really missed out and he would have been the one to re-write and own the records!!

    two greats from the turbo era gone way before their time.

    I wish more footage existed of Gilles. Awsome.

    Prost gets my vote, perhaps beccause there is more to draw from. If I ruled the world, I would make a Turbo-Era F1 videogame making sure to pay as much attention to detail as GT4 does. If only.
