Ralf Kelleners

What draws me to Ralf Kelleners is the weight of his lineage. Being the son of Helmut Kelleners, a man who conquered both the Spa and Nürburgring 24 Hours, he carried an enormous shadow into the cockpit, and yet he forged his own line by taking a class win at Le Mans in 1996. Endurance racing rewards patience and precision over flash, and that quiet, mechanical discipline is exactly the kind of greatness I admire. He was also the 1996 Porsche Carrera Cup Germany champion, and he strikes me as a craftsman who let the stopwatch do all the talking.
