Over nearly 4 km, the road will first be planed in order to then lay a new surface, which will be less abrasive for tires in many ways. In this case, the Syndicat Mixte du Circuit des 24H du Mans will finance the entire operation, estimated at €656 in total work.

In preparation for the 94th edition of the Le Mans Classic, the new asphalt will be even longer, and will allow for a better idea of the consequences on a more representative portion of the track. However, this does not yet represent the majority of the 13,650 km circuit of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
