POINT DE VUE de Le Mans

LORIS CAPIROSSI (DUCATI): "Le Mans is a lot of fun on a 125 or 250 but it's not very interesting on a really fast machine because it's just accelerate, brake, accelerate, brake, accelerate." he explains. "But there's a couple of fun corners - the Musee left-hander and the very fast turn one, where you need to be very brave!"

 

DECOR - CARACTERISTIQUES de Le Mans

Le Mans is one of the world's most famous motorsport venues, legendary for its 24-hour races. The French track, based in the Sarthe region a few hours west of Paris, has been hosting World Championship GPs on and off since 1969.
The Bugatti circuit, very different from the longer 24-hour car track, has built a huge following in bike-mad France since returning to the GP calendar in 1999. Le Mans has undergone various layout changes and safety modifications over the past few years.
The daunting high-speed first turn was tightened for the '99 GP and the Musee left-hander was also modified to lower speeds. Further modifications were carried out before the 2002 event and the track was fully resurfaced for last year's race.
The circuit layout is very stop-and-go, with plenty of slow turns where braking and acceleration performance are primordial. Riders and their engineers therefore concentrate on honing their machines' braking stability, as well as improving rear-end traction for the hairpins.
