		The Honda Accord of Kristensen was also proving to have the legs of the Mondeo of Rydell and the pair were nose to tail at the front for several laps before the Dane eventually overtook the Swede to take the lead on lap nine.
		After that, Kristensen pulled out a gap and was not challenged for the remainder of the race with Rydell concentrating on keeping Thompson at bay to prevent a further loss of points.
		This allowed Kristensen breathing space at the front of the grid and when the green lights came on to signal the start of the last round of the year, he disappeared into the darkness and cruised to a comfortable second win of the day.

	Audi Driver Tom Kristensen Wins at Road Atlanta and Becomes New ALMS Champion
		The race over 1000 miles in the US state of Georgia delivered all the ingredients of a real motorsport classic: Several safety-car-periods brought the 50 car field together again and again, the fight of the sport prototypes when lapping slower cars on the 2.540 mile long circuit added extra tension to the race.
		Rinaldo Capello and Tom Kristensen kept clear of every fight during the entire 9:27 race, chosing the right strategy with their pitstops to win by a 59.972s margin ahead of the 2001-spec Champion Audi R8.
		Tom Kristensen (Infineon Audi R8 #2): "I'm so happy about my title, but it belongs as much to Dindo as it belongs to me. Once again, he made our victory possible with his fantastic speed.

		Tom Kristensen rarely finds peace and quiet during a brief pause in his favourite café, however cosy and peaceful the Café Adel, located in the small town centre of Hobro, may appear.
		Kristensen fills his high demands again and again with life, for example with an impressive balance: "Irrespective of which race series I have previously competed in, I have always scored at least one victory.” Latest example: With fourth place as "Rookie” in Europe’s most popular touring car series, the DTM, he made a strong debut.
		Tom Kristensen is also a professional out of the cockpit: He trains frequently on a bicycle - but only with the best equipment.

	Audizine - News - Audi wins Le Mans in front of a record crowd
		Tom Kristensen, JJ Lehto and Marco Werner didn’t put a foot wrong, too, during the 24 hour race, thus helping Team ADT Champion Racing to celebrate its first victory at Le Mans — and the first one for an American team since 1967.
		The driver combination of Lehto/Kristensen/Werner which won the Sebring 12 Hour race in the USA at the beginning of the season led the race from the fourth hour to the finish.
		Tom Kristensen performed miracles: as the advantage over the second-placed Pescarolo-Judd had come down to less than one lap on Sunday at noon, Kristensen stayed in the cockpit for a stint of three and a half hours so as to avoid one more driver change in order to save time.

	Sports: 3-peat at stake for Sebring driver
		Tom Kristensen can match an old record, but his focus is totally on the difficult 12-hour race.
		And while Sebring's race is half as long as Le Mans, Kristensen said the nature of the course -- constantly winding turns and bends over a variety of paved surfaces -- make it nearly the equal of its overseas counterpart.
		To compare Tom Kristensen's Audi R8 with standard specs for a NASCAR Winston Cup stock car, the stock car is 18 inches longer, nine inches taller, weighs 70 percent more and generates 780 horsepower as compared to 600 for the Le Mans cars.

	Audifans.net - Tom Kristensen quickest of the day at Brno
		And the drivers of last year's A4 cars must be reckoned with at Brno as well: Christian Abt in the cockpit of the Audi A4 DTM entered by Audi Sport Team Joest clocked the fourth-best time and was thus the quickest driver of a car from the previous season.
		All Audi drivers on Friday concentrated on the set-up for Sunday's race because the circuit at Brno is considered to be especially tough on the tyres.
		The session had to be red-flagged due to Tom Kristensen stopping his Audi A4 DTM on the track after hearing a strange noise.

		In the second half of the race, the Audi driver was fighting with his back against the wall, coming under fierce attacks by Mercedes driver Jean Alesi during which his Audi A4 DTM lost crucial aerodynamic components, and ultimately finished in seventh place.
		At the finish, Kristensen in the fight for third place had to admit defeat to the new DTM champion, Gary Paffett (Mercedes-Benz), by merely 0.607 seconds.
		The best race so far in his young DTM career was driven by Frank Stippler in last year’s A4 of Audi Sport Team Joest.

		Kristensen started the race and the car slid from second to fourth as first Dyson Racing went past and then Jan Magnussen in one of the Panoz LMP01 machines moved into third.
		The second full-course caution was one hour into the race, and on the restart the #1 car was still leading, with Frank Biela now driving, and Rinaldo Capello in the #2 Audi began pushing back up to second, passing both the Panoz and the Riley & Scott.

		Champion Racing, 18th May: Tom Kristensen waited for the right opportunity and then nailed a flying lap in the ADT/Champion Audi R8 to take the pole for Sunday’s American Le Mans Series Grand Prix of Sonoma presented by Fosters at Sears Point Raceway.
		Kristensen, on loan from the factory Audi team for this event, turned a lap of 1:22.615 (110.246 mph) on the 2.53-mile, 12-turn circuit, establishing a track record on the recently reconfigured circuit.
		Kristensen, though happy to win the pole, feels that his team and the factory team will be at a disadvantage in Sunday’s two-hour, 45-minute event because both teams are using three drivers.

		One of the more dramatic moments came early in the race, when a Mercedes CLR -- one of the favorites -- went airborne, somersaulting off the track (the driver was miraculously unhurt).
		At that time she also affixed the final maxim on the back of the driver's seat, a cloth patch reading "What urge will save us now that sex won't." This suggestive slogan is visible only when the car is empty.
		Race fans will remember the 1971 Steve McQueen movie, Le Mans, whose romantic narrative centered on the fear of wives and girlfriends that their men would die in the race, which was clearly portrayed as a masculine monomania.

		Supported by Michelin since the inaugural event in Paris in 1988, The Race of Champions was conceived, and remained for the first eleven years, a rally-only event that invited drivers to race head-to-head, side-by-side in exactly the same cars and on a figure-eight parallel-track.
		In 1999, event promoters, seeing the potential for a World Cup of racing, introduced The ROC Nations Cup as a means of expanding that unique concept to other disciplines of motorsport and to allow racers to compete for their flags.
		The tires, which one noted Ford driver calls "as hard as stainless steel", were being looked at by NASCAR and a test of a softer compound tire was run in early August of this year.
