Allan McNish

Allan McNish is exactly the kind of driver I admire more than the flashier names. The Scotsman from Dumfries had a brief, frustrating shot at Formula One, but where he truly mattered was endurance racing, with three wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 2013 World Endurance Championship to his name. That tells me everything about his temperament, the patience and precision that a single qualifying lap never fully rewards. I also rate how he moved into commentary and team leadership afterward, staying useful to the sport. He's proof that a career's real value isn't always measured in the series people watch most.
