Originally hailing from New Zealand, Allan trained as an engineer before moving to the UK, where he became deeply involved in engine development for racing and road-going performance programs.At TWR, Allan led the team responsible for turning Jaguar’s V12 into a world-beating powerplant. Under his guidance, the XJ-S’s engine evolved into a championship-winning force in European touring car racing, and later, into the endurance-dominating heart of the legendary Group C Jaguars — machines that conquered Daytona, Le Mans, and tracks across the globe.As we mark the 50th anniversary of the Jaguar XJ-S, it’s an honour to have Allan with us to reflect on his experiences — from the workshop floor to the winner’s podium — and to hear first-hand what it took to transform Jaguar’s engines into icons."},"annotations":[{"startTime":56.0,"endTime":60.0,"type":"company","title":"Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR)","url":"/glossary/tom-walkinshaw-racing-twr","quote":"best known as the manager of the engine division at Tom Walkinshaw Racing, TWR, during a golden year of the 1980s and early 1990s.","canonicalId":"company:tom-walkinshaw-racing-twr","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) was a British motorsport team that was active in various racing series, including sports car racing.
