The 24 Hours of Le Mans remains the world's most famous and prestigious race. We talked to 2016 winner Neel Jani who took us through each turn.
That's the special thing about Le Mans. There is no easy part. I think you can talk about every corner where many cars crash.Neel won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016. He's here to take you turn by turn through the world's most famous race.When you start it's obviously tight, but you don't want to crash Lap 1 because it's a 24 hour race. If you lose a position then you lose a position, but yet still everyone attacks kind of.
And then we come to the next chicane. You can see I use all the road on the exit. I even go a bit wide. Again, take the speed. It goes a bit up. Here is the famous part where the Mercedes took off in the '90s. It's super important that you have brake markers at night. So like a 100-meter board, or a curb because obviously you don't always see the corner where you have to turn in, but because you're arriving at 350 kph you need to brake before you see the corner.
And we get through those left/right kinks to the Ford Chicane. On the right side on the entry of the Ford Chicane is the pit entry. That's basically your braking point, because at night this is a very difficult part because it's very dark there and you don't see the entrance where you have to turn in for the Ford Chicane. So you try to look for the curbs on the right side. You wait, you wait, and then you see them, you brake.
