Alessandro Zanardi (Italian pronunciation: [ˈaːleks dzaˈnardi] ; born 23 October 1966) is an Italian professional racing driver and paracyclist.
During 1995, Zanardi went to the United States for a drive in the CART Series. He felt that finding a race seat would be easy with Formula One experience but no teams took any interest. However, Reynard Commercial Director Rick Gorne managed to secure Zanardi a test drive at Homestead with Chip Ganassi Racing. Zanardi officially signed a contract on 23 October 1995. The team’s race engineer Mo Nunn advised Chip against signing him, as he believed Italian drivers were too prone to mistakes.
A win came at Laguna Seca for the final race of the 1996 season, where he conducted a highly risky overtaking move at the Corkscrew corner (known to many racing fans as “The Pass”; the maneuver was banned for future years), on race leader Bryan Herta, having fought his way through the field.
