Marc Gené

Marc Gene fascinates me as the consummate insider rather than the headline star. A Spaniard from Sabadell, he raced for Minardi in Formula One but made his real mark as the trusted test driver for Williams and Ferrari, the kind of role that demands precision and discretion over glory. The crown jewel for me is the 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans win with Peugeot's factory team, which proves he had genuine race-winning pace, not just lab credentials. The racing-family angle with his brother Jordi adds a nice texture. Now a television presenter, he's become one of the more articulate voices explaining the sport he served from the inside.
