Build a newer pit section on the inside of the track just before the Ford chicane with a grandstand on top . 20 pits would round the grid up to 80 cars ..... a proper number .

Ill have a ticket .

Yes, like I said in the WEC thread, an additional building at that location is the only realistic option I can see right now.

That's going to create one hell of a pit-lane...would completely change the strategy of the teams.

Perhaps a change to the Ford Chicane entirely, and see a new pit building expand in front of the Starship Enterprice?
Fillion talked about track changes.

Sounds like a lot of work in just over a year! Whatever the solution is, it can't be simple.

And it can't disturb the other races at the track during the course of the year.

Or build a GT pit down where the old signal pits used to be ..... but that would be a slightly mad option .

No, that would never happen, impossible to control and for spectators to follow.

The fact that is supposed to be done in one year and can't interrupt the ongoing activity on the track really hints at a completely separate building being build, that would not interfere with the current pit operations.

La Sarthe/Bugatti Circuit track changes
In the light of the new/additional pits for 2015, and Fillion talking about other track changes, I thought it was about time we got a specific thread for this.
A continuing thread with the updates from year to year.

Can an admin please move the relevant posts from the "2014 24 Hours of Le Mans Entry List Speculation" thread, and perhaps a merger with the: "2014 track changes"?

I have also heard 2017, so I stand to be corrected.

Seeing PascaLM's thread, It's for 2017.
Can an Admin please change my original post?

More cars? Hurrah, the track can take it. If they go really big I hope they don't feel they need to fill it if there aren't quality entries. At the moment, between the classes, it is fine. However in more barren years they shouldn't be tempted to have cars to just make up the number. As long as they have 50+.

I don't see how they'd be able to add a new complex at the side of Ford Chicane without blocking off the final corner of the Bugatti circuit? Unless you kind of made it a two-part pitlane like Spa?

No, the MotoGP fans need a place to go to too.
