Le Mans 2022 from the driver’s seat: Brendon Hartley reveals 5 corners you need to nail
Five areas you can find massive timeAlthough Le Mans is an endurance race at heart, pure pace is an increasingly important factor – especially with reliability improving throughout the field. Around Le Mans, a handful of tenths can extrapolate to laps over 24 hours, and qualifying is also massively important for track position – especially if you’re in equal cars.
‘I think the first quarter on the track where we’re first braking zone one is very tricky because you’re turning,’ says Hartley. ‘Basically, you’re hitting the brake but you’re still turning, so it’s a very easy opportunity to make a small mistake.’The Le Mans circuit is dominated by the Mulsanne straight, and despite the addition of two chicanes it’s still a hugely important part of the track.
‘I love those chicanes. I’ve always felt comfortable with them, but what I want to say there is you have a lot of time to think about where you’re going to brake,’ Hartley reveals. ‘So we’re hitting the brake pedal around just after the 100 metres from the corner and we’re going through there at around 330kph so you have a long time to think about it.’
