Alex Sims, our esteemed readers’ Q&A guest this week, has an eclectic motorsport CV. Yet he has stated that endurance racing is his true home.
Sims took his long-awaited victory in the Nurburgring 24 Hours in 2020, to go with his round-the-clock Spa victory from 2016. His Nurburgring triumph was no ordinary one, as it had considerable challenges even over and above those the Nordschleife habitually offers, in treacherous rain and thick fog that even resulted in a race stoppage.
And then as all started up again there was a thrilling fight for victory between Sims’ Rowe Racing BMW that he shared with Nicky Catsburg and Nick Yelloly, and the Audi of Mirko Bortolotti, Christopher Haase and Markus Winkelhock.
The ever-changing weather gave all sorts of strategic conundrums.
