Warren Hughes

What I admire about Warren Hughes is that he built his reputation in endurance and touring car racing rather than the flashier single-seater world. The 2005 Le Mans LMP2 win, shared with Tommy Erdos and Mike Newton for RML, tells you everything: it takes patience, mechanical sympathy and disciplined teamwork to survive twenty-four hours, not just raw speed. A Newcastle man who raced everything from the BTCC to the FIA World Endurance Championship, he strikes me as the kind of consummate professional who quietly earns respect. I have a real soft spot for drivers whose greatness lives in stamina rather than spotlight.
