#0511 OR 'A Tribute to Allan Simmonsen

All GT and LMP2 cars driven by Allan Simmonsen

Despite all the safety precautions installed in modern cars and tracks, tragedies still occur. Sadly, just ten minutes into the 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans, Allan Simonsen skidded over the curbs in his"&" Aston Martin Vantage GTE and spun into the barrier at the exit of Tertre Rouge – and later died of his internal injuries. Thus ended the career of the 34-year-old Danish racing driver, which began in karting and moved via single-seaters in 1999 to sports"&" cars in 2002, driving a Ferrari in the British GT Championship. This was followed by a successful decade of racing in Australia. Le Mans was no stranger to him, having raced his first race in a Porsche 997 GT3-RSR in 2007 and the following year in a Lola"&" B05/40-Mazda in the LMP-2 class. The fateful 2013 race was his seventh race at the Sarthe, his favorite race on his favorite track.
