Audi factory driverAllan McNish (GB)
Thirty years after his motorsport career started, the Scottish multi-talent appears as fresh and irrepressible as he was during his karting days. His spectacular opening laps at the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans or the 1000 kilometers Silverstone last year remain unforgotten: wherever there is a battle for lead Allan McNish is not far away.
The two time Le Mans winner fights for every meter and appears just as exuberant out of the cockpit as he is in a race car. He is regarded as a popular conversationalist with the media thanks to his thorough analysis and honest statements.
Allan McNish is married to Kelly. The pair lives with their daughter and son in Monaco.
