McNish bids fond farewell to a legend.

Monday, 8th January 2007

Reigning American Le Mans Series champion and 1998 Le Mans 24 Hours winner Allan McNish takes a wistful look back at the Audi R8 he and his Audi team-mates piloted to a staggering 50 victories during its seven-year lifespan.

Two weeks later it was Le Mans test weekend which saw Dindo set the second fastest time with Frank (Biela) fourth-fastest, although it was mainly a case of fine-tuning the new car to the Le Mans track for the very first time. The day after the test I flew home to Scotland in preparation for a full day of media interviews Audi UK had arranged, then I flew back to Le Mans to give the R10 TDI a final systems check. Then it was back to Monaco for a couple of days before heading back to Le Mans…for the big one.
