Any finish at Le Mans is great but every time I go to Le Mans my mission is to win.

Tom Kristensen

My last race was at Le Mans in 2000, my first race was in 1959, so I dodged a lot of bullets along the way, I can tell you that.

Mario Andretti

It's been my dream to race in F1 since I was eight. I don't see why that should change just because I've changed. It's a big challenge but I like to push myself. The accident has toughened me up and made me realise what's important. It's spurred me on to get to F1.

Billy Monger

I've done the 24-hour race in Le Mans, which was a dream come true.

Chris Hoy

Yes, with Le Mans, obviously, the approach needs to be different. You have a race only once a year, so in the whole focus, the whole energy, you know that you cannot change the world and have a race two weeks later.

Tom Kristensen

I wanted to work in a restaurant. Le Cirque was looking for a chef and they approached me. I was excited to be able to be part of this restaurant with an amazing reputation, but not a good one for food at the time. I made it clear that if I was coming to Le Cirque it was going to change.

Daniel Boulud

In my time in F1, I never doubted I could be successful. I sadly never made it on to the starting grid of an F1 race, but during testing I completed a race distance.

Susie Wolff

Le Mans is such a great race because you can never do anything alone. You have to work as a team member. And being a team member makes you a better person.

Tom Kristensen

Winning Le Mans didn't change my career, but it definitely gave me a boost.

Nico Hulkenberg

When I arrived at Le Mans nobody knew me, I had to work hard to get into the first-team.

Gervinho

I drove long distances like the 24 hours of Le Mans for years. But even this racing is now over. I retired.

Jacky Ickx

Le Mans takes the best out of everyone. Winning is important but it's not everything. It's such a big and great event in motorsport. You do more kilometres in that one race than Formula One do in a season, and probably a higher average speed. We average about 220km/h including pit stops and cover nearly 5000km.

Tom Kristensen

I'm proud of my driver test. So many people were waiting for me to test and fail, so they could say that women would never be able to race in F1. I always view my time in F1 as before and after the test. Beforehand, I could sense everybody asking, 'What's she doing in the F1 paddock? Is she good enough?' After my test, that attitude changed.

Susie Wolff

I think F1 have always had smaller teams and that's been fighting it out and being there and like you say, its been a perfect place for young drivers who come into F1 to gain experience.
