After Alessandro Zanardi's accident in 2001 which cost him both his legs no-one, apart from maybe the man himself, thought he would ever race again. On this day he was not only racing again but he took his first win since the crash, taking the chequered flag in the second race of the FIA World Touring Car Championship at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben in Germany, not far from the Lausitzring where his accident had happened.
