Why do drivers run to their cars in Le Mans?
As a motorsports enthusiast, I've always been fascinated by the iconic Le Mans race. One thing that has intrigued me is why drivers run to their cars at the start. It turns out this tradition, known as the "Le Mans start," began as a way to test the drivers' agility and ability to quickly start their cars under pressure. This dramatic beginning to the race not only adds excitement but also highlights the incredible skills of the drivers participating in this historic event. Though it's no longer practiced for safety reasons, it remains a memorable symbol of the spirit of Le Mans.
