The Roar before the Rolex 24, a three-day test before this month's Daytona 24 Hours event, brought together a trio of familiar faces yesterday.
Fernando Alonso and Rubens Barrichello flank the always energetic - and frankly heroic - Alex Zanardi in the Daytona paddock.
Alonso will be racing a Cadillac DPi-V.R for Wayne Taylor Racing, while Barrichello will drive the same car but one entered by JDC-Miller MotorSports.
Zanardi is set for his first Rolex 24 Hours, the former Williams F1 driver and gold-medalist paralympian included in BMW's official line-up.
Motorsport has always had its fair share of inspirational stories, but Zanardi's own extraordinary story is as much about his unwavering courage and determination than about his success.
Alex is a treasure for all who fight to overcome adversity, and a hero for all of us!
