Will F1 fans be able to understand the racing in 2026?
As F1's 2026 revolution starts, the series faces an uncomfortable question: can fans comprehend racing where the most crucial battles are invisible?
Join us as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Le Mans 24 Hours with Tom Kristensen at IET London, 2 Savoy Place on the 17th of May. The nine-times winner will be discussing the greatest moments in the history of this endurance classic, his own finest laps and he’ll also be signing copies of his recently published book Mr Le Mans.
After the event, there will be an exclusive dinner with Tom at Smith & Wollensky Covent Garden for Supper Club members only, with extremely limited tickets remaining.
Join us from 6:00pm where Tom will be signing copies of his award-winning book Mr Le Mans as well as Tom Kristensen: The Book. Guests can bring their own copies or there will be the chance to purchase the book on the night. The main talk will begin at 7:00pm and will last around 90 minutes. After the event, there will be a dinner for Supper Club members with Tom at Smith & Wollensky’s Covent Garden. This is an intimate occasion with the chance to interact with Tom and ask any questions you might have missed earlier. A three course meal is included with the price of your ticket.
