I am by no means what you would consider an athlete of any sort, and last time I tried to ride I bicycle I quickly discovered you fall on your face if you can't pedal. This however does not stop me from being the occasional fan of cycling. It just so happens this weekend there were multiple specials on TV talking about the Tour de France. The show that caught my interest went back in time talking about how the race came about, how it became so popular, and the racers involved in it over the years. They spoke of certain stages of the event that are legendary, certain people and teams that have played major roles in the event since the beginning, and of course the most dominant and legendary riders of the event over the past 100 years.

Majority of their information on who the most legendary riders, teams, and stages of the event were based on various interviews and opinions.

This immediately got me thinking about R/C racing. Who are the most legendary drivers, teams, companies, products, races, etc. in our sport? R/C racing has been around far longer than I have been alive, and as it has grown in popularity, so has the talent, teamwork, cars, and races within it.

I want to know YOUR opinions of who YOU think the most legendary icons of all-time in R/C racing really are! Below are six legend categories:

Who is the most legendary professional R/C racer?
Who is the most legendary person involved in R/C racing in general?
Who is the most legendary R/C car company?
Who is the most legendary R/C car racing team?
What is the most legendary R/C car?
What is the most legendary R/C car racing event?

There are a LOT of amazing drivers, people, companies, teams, vehicles, and races to choose from. Let's start off the week by giving a shout out to those who YOU think are the most legendary in R/C racing!
