I think he's the best race car driver of his generation, talent wise. If I had to choose one racer from the past 30 years to win a race in equal cars, I'd take him.
In motos, it would be Casey Stoner. Still think he's the fastest pure racer I've ever seen on a motorcycle.

Hamilton beat Alonso in the same car his rookie season. As many have found out, Hamilton is a pure racer and rarely ever cracks. I'd put Alonso #2 in the list, they're both extremely good.
I think that Casey Stoner was the fastest rider I've ever seen, when it came to wheel to wheel racing he wasn't so happy. I wish we could have seen MM97 vs Rossi in his prime vs Stoner in his prime vs Alex Barros in his prime. When Barros had a setup that he was comfortable with there was nobody that could touch him, kind of like JLo.

Recedite, plebes!
Yes the Cadillac DPi teams did very well in spite of the all the rain!!!
Fun to see the Konica Minolta and Whelen Engineering cars dicing it up for the lead. Cadillac cars have won the last three years.
A little sad to hear that Christian Fittipaldi was retiring from racing. I spoke with him at last year's LBGP. I didn't see his name on the car and asked him about it and he said that he was staying with the Cadillac team but was only doing the endurance races.
Also, really cool to see Alex Zanardi in the specially prepped BMW M8, GTLM class.
