Race of my Life: John Fitch
John Fitch, who died yesterday, was a sportscar ace in the 1950s. Back in 2010, he picked out his GT class win in the 1955 Mille Miglia as the race of his life
I have to be most proud of the 1955 Mille Miglia, which I did in a production car - the Gullwing Mercedes-Benz 300SL.
I finished fifth overall from a starting line-up of over 500 cars. I was only beaten by four racing cars, and won the Grand Touring Class.
