Three-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Allan McNish tries his hand at making a tire (video)

Since the only parts of a racing car that touch the ground are its four tires, they must be both solid to support acceleration and braking as well as supple in order to make turns appropriately. Like driving, the manufacturing of racing tires is an exercise in heightened concentration as there is simply no room for error. That was the takeaway for Allan McNish, winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1998 (with Porsche), 2008 and 2013 (with Audi), after he worked to make a tire himself at the French manufacturer's factory. Are we looking at a post-retirement career move for the legendary British driver?
