Award for Allan McNish

We’ve been big fans of Allan McNish since his early days, and having had the great fortune to meet the man in person, and watch him work on the race track is truly an honor and something we will never forget. It is difficult to put into words how humble and genuine he is. He is also amazingly talented on the racetrack, and one of our favorite memories of all time involves McNish winning Petit Le Mans 2008 from 2 laps down, after a slight off in warmups.

Congrats Allan, all of the accolades are WELL deserved!
