Tom Kristensen announced his retirement today. The title legend gets thrown around a lot but TK is truly deserving of it.

TK's Le Mans record:

18 starts

9 wins

2 seconds

3 thirds

4 DNFs

Sebring record:

13 starts

6 wins

2 seconds

1 third

3 fourths

1 fifth

0 DNFs

Like I said a Legend.

Last of the original R8 racers.

I have mixed feelings it is sad to see him go but I am happy for him.

TK is a legend. Those numbers are huge. What is the best is he has a reputation as being a clean racer (you don't win Le Mans like that without being so) and a good guy. I wish him luck in the future!
