And he supposedly still drove the piss out of the car, and didn't just putter around for the emotional victory. He also now has a few WTCC wins under his belt, if I recall correctly.

Yep. One of the coolest things ever... finishing the race that took his legs.
Zanardi's one amazing guy... losing both legs never slowed him down, it just moved him into different cars. He was on grid at one of the F1 races this season, I remember seeing Peter Winsor saying hi to him live from pit lane between driver interviews.
