Of interest to LM fans: Tom Kristensen to author autobiography
Sportscar 365's site has reported that Tom Kristensen has admitted to plans of authoring an autobiography of himself and his racing career. Work is believed to start soon now that Tom is no longer a full time racing driver, which naturally affords the 9 time Le Mans winner the free time to compose a book about himself and a motorsports tenure.

What, again?
He has several books written about him, but this will be the first written by himself. But it does mean that his name will crash with another famous dane: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Kristensen |

Just read it and it was very good, loads more pictures and video's that usual, although the pictures of the meet were ruined by to many pictures of a scruffy man in a rebellion t shirt (no not you Eric) Thanks for doing that http://www.aysedasi.co.uk/ For those who have not seen it |

Thanks Simon - the fact is that you're just too photogenic.....
The video bits aren't finished yet. There are still more to put up and I need to re-order them on the pages. |

I just hope we can buy the book at Le Mans and a few of us get lucky enough to have it signed by Tom K himself.

Although he will properly be available at a few more events in Denmark, where it is possible! (It would be another signed book by him to the collection) . |

Very interesting and some great shots, but the big question is what on earth has happened to Sam's hair

This is the kind of thread that makes me return to ten-tenths. We start with a book on TK and drift into to Sam's topiary - priceless
