All chicanes are there... unfortunately, but also for safety reasons. Some of those cars car go faster than 200 mph...

How I hate those 2 chicanes- safety or not they are a crime against all of racing. I can understand getting rid of the old run & start for safety, but the Mulsanne Straight was the stuff of legends.
Johannes, such great fun! Thanks for posting.

Put those 200 mph cars in the hands of amateur club racers, bad stuff happens.
My buddy ran this a couple of years ago, has nighttime in car video from his 356, a gt40 passed on the mulsanne (cleanly). But when the gt40 hit clean air he got light, drifted across the road, tapped the rail, spun a couple of times tapping the other rail a little harder and wound up coasting facing forward. Could have been real bad, he got lucky.
