The 100 Greatest motorsport moments

Channel 4 have just launched the 100 greatest sporting moments and there were only THREE out of 100 to do with motorsport they were

Villeneuve/Arnoux: Dijon 1979
Mansell's blow out: Adelaide 1986
Senna's famous lap: Donington 1993

Now I know there are other sports that deserve mentions but half of the 100 are to do with Football (From Our great wins over the Germans to a goalie I never heard of scoring a goal in dying seconds!) so I belive its time all of us conducted a spoof of those C4 shows by creating

THE 100 GREATEST MOTORSPORT MOMENTS

I'm only gonna say one thing now.....you decide!

The 1935 German GP should have been included. They way Nuvolari beat the Germans with der Pechvogel Manfred von Brauchitsch unlucky once again.
Or what about : French GP @Deippe in 1906 : first GP won by Ferenc Sisz (Hun) in a Renault
French GP @ Reims in 1953 : Mike Hawhtorn beating Fangio, Gonzalez & others in a breathtaking fight.
German GP 1957 : Fangio's best race.
French GP 1961 : Baghetti wins exciting debut race
Belgian GP 1967 : Gurney & Eagle
German GP 1968 : Jackie Stewart's Matra in the wet
Italian GP 1971 : 5 Cars in a foto finish : won by Peter Gethin (BRM)
British GP 1973 : Peter Revson
Dutch GP 1975 : James Hunt & Hesketh
Japanese GP 1976 : Andretti wins in atrocious conditions, Hunt champion
South Africa 1978 : Peterson beats Depailler
Monaco 1982 : Patrese wins chaos race without realising it
Moncaco 1984 : Senna & Bellof steal the show
Estoril 1985 : Senna's first victory
Canada 1991 : Piquet in the Benetton
Monaco 1996 : Panis brings Ligier to glory

- Ralph De Palma pushing his Mercedes to the finish line in the 1912 Indy 500 after leading all the way - what a heartbreak!
- Stirling Moss winning the 1958 Argentine GP with the canvas showing through on his tyres
- Jody Scheckter leading most of the 1973 French GP in only his fourth F1 drive
- ...

If I wasn't that tired I'd remember many more!
