Former race car driver Alessandro Zanardi will be representing his country, Italy, during the Paralympic Games held in London.

Zanardi, now 45 has been entered in three competitions in road cycling.

Ironically, all road cycling competitions will be held on the road circuit of Brands Hatch! Zanardi drove at Brands Hatch in 1989 and 1991 when he was competing in the International Formula 3000 Championship.
