Why don't they have F1 here at Le Mans? Too narrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too long, too bumpy, too many tight corners, too taxing on engines and brakes. If they still wanted to run an F1 race here, they'd have to make massive changes to the layout too as there's not enough runoff in some sections of the track, as well as some other safety concerns. Not many spectator facilities, either. There's a part of the track called Bugatti circuit, it hosts motorbike races and I believe it has FIA Grade 1 meaning it could host an F1 race.

Eco 3,008 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Also, as I watch these pit stops, that has got to be hard on the body. Driver probably have 25-30 pits in a 24 hour time frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I texted my Dad that I'm watching Le Mans 24, and he laughed because.... I was named after my Dad's favorite movie, Cool Hand Luke, and he informs me that Paul Newman won Le Mans 24. WTF....Paul Newman was the man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one has Kubica... Brilliant. Went to sleep and we were 3rd, about 3 minutes behind. Woke up 6 hours later and nothing has changed. It's pretty incredible how consistent things drivers are.

Ha, I don't care much about Kubica, but I like Ferdinand Habsburg, Louis Delétraz and Ye Yifei, so it's great to see them doing well!
