Veggie 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:

In short, yes.....

And no, I don't mind of course. (I'm only able to post it myself in Cool Sites - not that it's necessarily all that cool.... ).

I share this hope.
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) .

The book will be ready for Le Mans, that is when and where it is being launched. I spoke to TK in Geneva on Tuesday and he had the first editorial meeting with the publishers this week.

I even published a shot of him with Darren Cox at the Salon.

For as long as I've been following sportscars intently that's the only hairstyle I've seen from Sam. Distinctive is the word that comes to mind!

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

He has worn it short in the past - I'm sure I have a pic from a Tenths meeting somewhere......
