Although I can think of a couple of drivers of S2000/Super Touring cars that have 'driven' F1 cars...they're usually occassional drives or test drives that went nowhere. The other way doesn't work well either... Excellent tourers...naff F1'ers: Gabriele Tarquini (Tyrrell 1995, AGS 1991) Nicola Larini (Ferrari 1994, Sauber 1997) Jo Winkelhock (drove for someone in the early 80's) Jorg Muller (Sauber test driver, 1998-1999) Kelvin Burt (Ligier test driver 1996) Some of F1 drivers that were naff tourers: Jean-Christophe Boullion (Renault 1999) Nigel Mansell (previously mentioned, Ford 1998) Derek Warwick (Vauxhall, 1997-8...at least he owned it) |

Derek did taste victory in a touring car.
And Larini was hardly a "naff" F1'er - he's been on the podium |

In Warwick's defence the 1995 Alfa was not a patch on the 1994 car (even Tarquini struggled to do much with it) and the 1997/98 Vectra was an absolute dog. That's not to say I would rate him as a particularly good TC driver.
Larini aside the first list is test drives or tail-end charlie teams so not surprising they failed to impress. Could anyone fail to be 'naff' in a Ligier or AGS? |

But his 1997 stint at Sauber qualifies as naff IMHO |

AGS, okay - suppose. Probably more an indicator though that that was all that would hire him. |
