Steve McQueen Mural in Wynwood

[STORMCAT]

Steve McQueen is one of my heroes since he was a motocrosser & a car guy. He popularized the saying but it was Rudolf Caracciola, another famous motorcycle & car guy from Germany, who said it in the 1930s.

Ed

It's spelled Caracciola & is the name of a noble family from Italy. Rudolf was actually born in Germany. He lived a short, exciting & interesting life. He ruled the Nurburgring in the pre-War years & raced the 24HR Le Mans, crashed in practice at the Indy 500 & was one of the most successful drivers in his time. Time to do some reading Dr Frank!
