SAFEisFAST LE MANS SPECIAL – RACING A HYBRID PROTOTYPE
This weekend features the 84th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans – perhaps the most iconic race in the world. (See television schedule below.)
And it promises to be an intense battle among the exotic hybrid prototypes from Porsche, Audi and Toyota.
What’s the secret of driving these hi-tech machines? Well in our latest advanced driving techniques video, some of the best in the business explain just how it’s done.
Join three-time Le Mans winner Allan McNish, twice Le Mans victor Alex Wurz, WEC Champions Anthony Davidson, Sebastien Buemi and Brendon Hartley for a lively discussion.
I think you’ll find it very interesting – and it might even improve your own driving technique.
