Having clocked up eight victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 1997 and 2008 – including six consecutive wins from 2000 to 2005 – the Danish racing driver holds a record number of successes in the oldest and one of the most prestigious automobile endurance races in the world. An emblematic figure in the sport, Tom Kristensen has also triumphed five times at the 12 Hours of Sebring, becoming the record-holder for victories in this race held each year in Florida. He became a Rolex Testimonee in 2010.
