Racing the Le Mans champs

2000 Le Mans 24 Hours

The buzz of Le Mans is coming to Silverstone on Sunday September 12 with an epic 1,000km, six-hour race around the new-and-improved track.

The usual big names will be there, including Audi’s Allan McNish who took the second spot at this year’s 24 hours of Le Mans.

To launch the forthcoming race, the organisers set-up a spectacular one-hour endurance kart race where amateur journalists were paired with legendary racing drivers including Anthony Davidson, Darren Turner, Rob Bell, Nigel Mansell’s sons and eight-times Le Mans winner Tom Kirstensen.

As luck would have it, I was partnered up with Tom, and while he made a great effort to get us up into seventh place, I didn’t quite have the skill – or low weight – to keep us there, eventually finishing in 11th place.

Of course, I blame the fact it started to rain down hard on the Daytona circuit at Sandown Park for my misfortune… what was embarrassing was how many times the same pros lapped me!
