Le Mans: asphalt that goes fast

For Nicolas Minassian, pilot Peugeot , it is the resurfacing of part of the Le Mans circuit which explains that the 908 HDi FAP are much faster than during the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2009. ' It saves us two seconds per lap, explains the native of Marseille to AUTOhebdo.fr. Je ne sais pas pourquoi ils l?ont refait car c?était déjà nickel. Ca veut dire qu?ils veulent que la piste soit belle tous les deux ans. Mais ça nous a amené au moins deux secondes au tour, au niveau des virages Porsche. D?autant que le virage du karting is more open. As the Porsche corners have been redone, we have better grip. That explains why we are two seconds faster than last year, if not more because we must not forget that we had our engine “cut off”. »
