Patrick Bornhauser

Patrick Bornhauser is my favorite kind of competitor, the one who refuses to let age write his story. Winning the GTE-Am class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in both 2011 and 2012, in his fifties, is genuinely remarkable; that race punishes drivers half his age. I suspect his parallel life as a businessman sharpened the patience and strategic calm that endurance racing demands. There's something deeply admirable about reaching a career peak in maturity rather than youth. He treated experience as an asset rather than a limitation, and I find that mindset every bit as impressive as the trophies.
