Jonny Kane could never have imagined that biofuel testing for the short-lived A1 Grand Prix World Cup of Motorsport might provide the origins of his favourite team-mate partnership. But a fruitful collaboration with Danny Watts that is best remembered for a famous Le Mans 24 Hours class victory with their Strakka Racing HPD in 2010 actually began several years before, when the duo had been team-mates of sorts pounding around away from the public eye.
Over the course of 35 race starts between 2010 and 2016 together with Strakka boss Nick Leventis, Kane and Watts also became the first LMP2 crew ever to win a Le Mans Series race outright at the Hungaroring in 2010, joined Audi on an outright World Endurance Championship podium in 2012 and led the unofficial privateers class at Le Mans in 2013.
