Allan McNish: Going the Distance
A decade on from his Le Mans win, Allan McNish reckons he is overdue for another visit to the top step of the podium. But with Peugeot looking so competitive, he's got a fight on his hands
It's ten years since I won the Le Mans 24 Hours and looking back, it all seemed so easy then! The truth is that I've been trying to win the bloody thing again ever since.
My perspective of the old place has changed over the years, but when I'm racing at La Sarthe in the middle weekend in June, it still gives me the same buzz it always has. When you sit and watch the cars coming out of the last corner and roar under the massive grandstands, you can feel the history and emotion flooding through the place.
