Former Formula One driver and CART champion Alessandro Zanardi is aiming to compete on the olympic marathon in London in 2012. Since he has lost both legs in a racing accidents years back, the Italian will compete in a wheelchair, aiming to fulfill a dream.
Alex said to motorsport magazine: "In my life I have repeatedly put dreams into reality, so it is not just a dream".
42-year old Zanardi will not be a complete rookie as he became 4th in the handisport category at the marathon of New York in 2007.
