Phil Hanson considers starting his car racing career in endurance as “the best mistake” he ever made, leading him to a Le Mans 24 Hours victory in a Ferrari after nine years. His motorsport journey is described as “a crazy story” due to his rapid success in LMP3 and subsequent victories in LMP2, European Le Mans Series, and World Endurance Championship. Despite his unconventional route to sportscar racing, Hanson reflects on the fortunate turn of events that propelled him to where he is today. His initial foray into endurance racing was influenced by Tockwith Motorsports and a successful karting background, setting him on a unique path towards multiple Le Mans wins. The pivotal moment in Hanson’s career came during development testing with Ligier, where everything clicked, solidifying his place in the world of endurance racing.
