My Take

Endurance racers fascinate me because their greatness is measured in patience as much as speed. Timo Bernhard, from Homburg in Germany's Saarland, was a Porsche loyalist who completed the informal triple crown of endurance racing, only the ninth driver ever to do so. That tells me he had the rare combination of raw pace and the discipline to survive races that last through the night. Being named his region's Athlete of the Year suggests he was beloved off the track too. I respect drivers like him who write their legend in stamina and consistency rather than flash.

Overview

Timo Bernhard (born 24 February 1981) is a former racing driver from Germany. He was a sports car driver from Porsche, but was seconded to Audi for selected events in 2009 and 2010. He is the ninth driver to complete the informal triple crown of endurance racing.
