As a child, Formula 1 was his dream. As a young driver, he was
on the same trajectory as Michael Schumacher. Tom Kristensen
was offered a chance to join a Formula 1 team, but he saw it as
too risky. Instead, he found success in sportscars and made
history at the Le Mans 24 Hours with a record nine victories.

Tom tells Tom Clarkson about the ‘risky’ offer he received from
a Formula 1 team in the 1990s, the sportscar decision which
harmed his F1 chances, and the day he impressed a World
Champion in a modern F1 car.

‘Mr Le Mans’ also remembers his history-making days at the
world’s most famous endurance race and explains how racing
different cars made him a better driver.
