HOLY S***!!
I just saw the picture of the crash in this thread, that is not good. His legs must have been ripped off, not very pleasant.

I think it would be good if he did race with Prothesis, it would probably be a first. Besides if you're just giving gas and brake (Clutch) You could get them specially built for race use. I'm sure he's got the money to do it.

If he raced with a prothesis, he may be the first in the modern area. There are others who race with hand controls, however, not at the top levels, and much as I would wish it to be so, Alex will never compete at the top level again.

Clay Reggazoni has a racing school for those either with no legs or are parapalegics. There is a parapalegic racing a Ferarri in Speedvision GT racings currently.

Zanardi will most likely never race at the top level. I hope he continues in some other arena of motorsport, it would be nice. Like that guy who rode bikes, he lost the use of his legs. He now races in 100hp go karts (essentially) with hand controls.
