Yamaha Banshee 350. Custom Made Le Mans Edition, 2004.
Yamaha Banshee 350. Specially made ATV in Michelin's characteristic blue colour, bearing Tom Kristensen's name on a red background, Michelin and 24 Heures du Mans logos, as well as stickers from Audi Sport Japan and Team Goh. The Japan-based crew comprising Seiji Ara, Dindo Capello and Tom Kristensen won the prestigious LM P1 class at Le Mans in 2004 in an Audi R8 #5. The battle for victory was extremely close, with a margin of just 41.354 seconds. With this victory, Tom Kristensen equalled the previous record holder Jacky Ickx (b. 1945) with 6 wins in the legendary 24-hour race.
Provenance: Custom made gift from Michelin to Danish racing driver Tom Kristensen (b. 1967) in connection with his participation in the 24-hour race at Le Mans. The ATV thus constitutes a special memento from the 6th of the 9 Le Mans victories that crowned Tom Kristensen's impressive motorsports career. Chassis number 3GG-275178. Race photo by AUDI AG.
