i couldn't agree more.

Han er den bedste racerkører i verden, ingen tvivl om det :) Og hvor var det fedt at se hvor stærkt han kom tilbage til Le Mans efter hans ulykke, bare ærgeligt at de skulle misse sejren på så ærgeligt vis :( De havde fortjent at vinde! Men gør det selvfølgelig næste år :D

@AKAL4nka Der kan så også argumenteres for at en formel-1 kører bliver udsat for hårdere fysisk belastning end en Le Mans kører gør, blot ved at trække højere G-krafter, og også blive udsat for dem med kortere mellemrum, da der er flere nedbremsninger og hurtige sving inden for en tidsperiode i F1 end der er i Le Mans.

@YensiTeasu Le man er meget hårdere end formel 1, bare en tur i bilen kan være op til 2 formel 1 løb, og de køre også om natten.

he did drive f1, but, only as a test driver, or should i say a tyre test driver for michellin. he tested tires for michelin in 2001 in a 2000 jaguar f1 car. the reason why i didnt wont to drive f1 was becouse he did not like all the cirkus around f1. and to see him driving dtm, and le mans. is just natural to os from DENMARK.. KOM SÅ TOM K!!!!

[LeKeneguit]

Tom K ? Le meilleur pilote d'endurance !

[379groundpounder]

TK is a class act for sure..

Make no mistake about it- I think Tom Kristensen is one of the best sportscar racers of our lifetime. His record at Le Mans for outright wins was 7 outright Le Mans victories out of 10 attempts. That is IMPRESSIVE. It means you know how to win on one of the world's grandest stages. You win Le Mans once, you're great. You win Le Mans multiple times, you're a legend. Win seven times outright in ten tries after Le Mans '05, you should be a Hall of Fame racer. I almost wanted to cry on his '05 win.

Ja det gjorde de :P

He choosed endurance instead of Formula 1. But i do not think that he would have turned down a contract if it was good. He's is the best endurance driver. No discussion! But a hot seat in F1. Why not! Could have been fun to watch. I talked to him in Messecenter Herning at the car show " Biler for alle" and he informed that racing for Audi clearly the right choise for him so. You got a point! But still he was good in F3000 so why not try F1...

[Johnny1lap]

Whats th point in doing F1, with all that stress. when he can be happy and comfortable and happy with audi. Kristensen is an endurance driver, and one of the best endurance drivers at current time!
