One of THE greatest enigmas from the past was Archie Scott-Brown. He had a seriously shortened arm but on his day in big hairy Lister Jaguars, he was simply better than Jim Clark. Absolutely astonishing and as a child at Goodwood, I can remember being overwhelmed by his aggression and his long drifts through Madgewick. Bloody brilliant.
I think hill climbing had one or two. Was it Peter Boshier-Jones? No maybe Tony Marsh was a UK hill climb champion with a similar disability. Again, the aggression, lack of fear and commitment displayed were something to behold.
More recently, my team boss John Greasley wrapped up the '97 British GT Championship in a Porsche GT1 ... with sight only in one eye. Think about it.
