Because Drew Magary cannot into racing (unless he steps foot on this forum), I have taken the opportunity to name some GOATs in select classes of motorsport. My takes are captioned.
WARNING: The takes here will be piping hot. Prepare yourself.

Greatest Woman to Race: Michele Mouton

Australia Supercars: Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup (tied)

Hillclimb: Nobuhiro Tajima (hillclimb purists say dirt and mixed-surface Pikes Peak is the best, and with Tajima-san’s record on the surface it’s hard to find a better driver)

Advertisement
Drift: Keiichi Tsuchiya

GT: [honestly this is hard to list because GT is just so damn tight]
Advertisement
Advertisement
NASCAR: Richard Petty (this was tough, and why I held off adding a NASCAR slot. It was either him or Dale Earnhardt Sr. I think they’re tied.
Advertisement
Advertisement
Drag racing: John Force (again, another tough choice)
Advertisement
Advertisement
MotoGP: Valentino Rossi (unless Marc Marquez can get to 10 titles before Rossi gets his 10th)
Advertisement
Advertisement
Greatest Motorcycle Rider: Joey Dunlop
Advertisement
Advertisement
Motocross: Ricky Carmichael

Car + Bike: John Surtees
And now special shoutouts to the following:

Sir Stirling Moss, the greatest non-champion
Sir Jack Brabham, who became champion driving his own car
Advertisement
Jean Rondeau, who created his own car, one that bagged him a Le Mans win
Alex Zanardi, who makes me unworthy
Advertisement
And finally, Leena Gade, who’s simply the boss.
This list is created entirely to start some shit-talkking, so stir shit, y’all, and tell Stef or anyone else back at Jalopnik to rip my picks to shreds. More will be added in the comments area.
