Over the past few weeks we've been building up to Alex Zanardi's Paralympic debut in Andy Hallbery's inspiring series of features on the great man. His story has been completely captivating, inspiring and extraordinary.
A week ago he tackled his first Paralympic event at, appropriately, Brands Hatch, and won gold. And that was just a warm up!
The final two parts of Andy Hallbery's feature cover Andy's personal recollections and moments with him and then the incredible response to his Paralympic success, and are absolutely unmissable!
Also on the menu for this week is a look at the return of the Gyronaut X-1, an exploration of what makes Monaco so special, a completely-sideways Yellowbird and a whole lot more!
Buckle up, and enjoy the Fuel newsletter!
