- Andy Wallace (racing driver)
Andy Wallace (born February 19, 1961, in Oxford, England) is a professional race car driver from the United Kingdom, who has been racing since 1979. In 1976, a 15-year-old Wallace attended the Jim Russell Racing Drivers' School. He has raced prototype sports cars since 1988, winning over 25 International Sports car races including:
* 24 Hours of Le Mans
* 24 Hours of Daytona (3 times)
* 12 Hours of Sebring (2 times)
* Petit Le Mans 1000 miles.
Wallace was also the driver for the then record-setting speed of 240.14 mph in a McLaren F1, which for over 11 years this was the world record for the fastest production car. According to the Autosport's Le Mans supplement, he liked the place so much that he became resident there.
Wallace drove for Dyson Racing in the American Le Mans Series through the 2007 racing season.
For 2008 he is planning a partial schedule with Richard Childress Racing in the Rolex Sports Car Series.
In January 2008 Wallace drove for Alex Job Racing in the #23 Porsche-powered Daytona Prototype backed by Ruby Tuesday in the 24 Hours of Daytona, finishing in 36th place with engine problems.
