  • hahaha "the sleeping dogs"!!!!! good one Jan! hahahaha. watched the 1988 on VHS and it has to be said, WHAT A RACE!

  • Not bad for someone who used to wash cars at Slotemaker's skid school !

    Agreed, DJ, it's not the same definition as a war hero. A racing hero is just a talented driver behind the wheel. People look up to him as a smart calculated brilliant strategist with stellar car control, always on top of things, and good representation of his native land. It's about honor, glory, and fulfulling your dreams. Look into the eyes of Andy Wallace who raced Le Mans for the first time in 1988 and won it with Jan.

  • jan the man is ok especially compared to ther nl racing drivers he comes off as the only cool , composed pro.

    " not telling his pit crew hahaha "

  • Great insight from Jan

  • lucky enough to be there in 88,great race,fancied brundle at the start,but great result
