![]() ![]() A few more grey hairs, a smart suit that befits an extremely successful businessman, but still you hear the engaging Ulster lilt and a fund of anecdotes and recollections. The Kenneth Acheson you meet today has seemingly aged no more than a year or two since he retired from competition after a mighty crash in the Lister Storm at Daytona in 1996. Was he a ‘nearly man’ like Bob Wollek, or a driver who persistently under-rated his own performances and counted his many blessings in endurance racing? Definitely the latter! Three times on the podium at Le Mans, what more could a racing driver wish for? A victory, of course! Kenny Acheson was on the lofty gantry after finishing second with the Sauber Mercedes team in 1989, third with Silk Cut Jaguar in 1991, second again with Toyota in 1992.
