Fresh from winning the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship in 1992, Nigel Mansell left Formula One and went to race in CART for the 1993 season.
And he got off to a good start, claiming pole position and winning his first race – the season opener at Surfers Paradise in Australia. Things got better from there, and despite a few bumps and bruises along the way he claimed he 1993 Indy Car World Series Championship, and became the only person to hold both the Formula One and CART championships at the same time.
In this video he takes us for a walk around his Newman/Haas Racing Lola T93/00 and compares it to Formula One machines of the time.
