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.

Warren Hughes (born 19 January 1969) is an English racing driver. Hughes has raced in a variety of different series, most notably the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC), the FIA GT1 World Championship, the Le Mans Series, the FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
