Everybody knows Le Mans is about endurance. The untold story is in making it to the starting line. For the teams behind Porsche and Michelin’s push for victory, it’s a race that begins long before the chequered flag. But above all, the key to success is about being a racer.
“WE ARE RACERS”
Le Mans is a race against time, the elements, the traffic, yourself. From blitzing Silverstone to winning Le Mans, being fast is not enough. This is a team race.
Being a racer is not the exclusive domain of a driver. The racing spirit extends right down the line to every mechanic, technician and engineer. Being ready for the slightest variable, anticipating and reacting when you have to.
Anything can change in a heartbeat. Air temperature, wind, rain, wear, traffic on track, fatigue levels. These are your enemies.
