Nigel was the last Ferrari Formula One driver selected personally by Enzo Ferrari before the great man's death in 1988.
Nigel won world championships in both Formula One (1992) and CART (1993). He is the only person in history to hold both titles simultaneously, and was the first person to win the CART/ChampCar title in his debut season.
In 2010 Nigel linked up with British sportscar team Beechdean Motorsport and formed Beechdean Mansell Motorsport to run a factory-backed Ginetta-Zytek Z09R in the LMP1 class of the Le Mans Series with his sons Leo and Greg. They retired from LeMans after a heavy crasch where Nigel brook his leg.
During practice for the 1985 French GP, Mansell broke the record for the highest speed crash in Formula One history. At the end of the Paul Ricard Circuit's 1.8 km long Mistral Straight he went off at over 322 km/h (200 mph).
Dubbed “Il Leone” (the lion) by the tifosi during his Ferrari career.
