What does it mean to be a True Racer

[Facts Only]

Facts Only, I'd also count having driven in races as being a requirement to being a true racer. Else you'd be the engineer who built the car, but never raced it.

By that assessment, do we see Frank Williams as a true racer? When he was young, he did race in F1. Afterwards he got paralyzed in his lower body and then started his own team. I'd take him as a true racer.

Sorry yes I should qualify that for me to be a true racer you need to have driven as well.

Frank Williams, Bruce McLaren and many others have done it but for me Dan Gurney is the real deal.

By your assessment Jack Brabham was a genius, World Champion in a car he built, in fact the only one to have done so.

He was a genius, no doubt about it. Not sure why he didnt pop into my head.
