24h Le Mans
After a misunderstanding with a slower competitor, Anthony Davidson was the victim of a spectacular accident during the 24 Hours of Le Mans (video here). With two broken vertebrae, the British driver was forced to rest for many months and only very recently received the green light from doctors to take the wheel of the Chevrolet Coyote he will drive in the 24 Hours of Daytona (26-27 January) with Stéphane Sarrazin, Nicolas Minassian, Pedro Lamy and Enzo Potolicchio. The Toyota works driver describes his return to the track.
Anthony Davidson: "It was great to get back behind the wheel of a racing car after so much talking about it... To get back behind the wheel again in a racing car anywhere around the world was great, let alone Daytona, it's a fantastic race, they are great cars to drive, very challenging. But seven months away from driving is tough for anyone but to come back after an injury like that - after breaking your back, it is mentally quite difficult to deal with as well."
