why did they have to put chicanes on the mulsane straight,that is where i used to get a chance to take a break during races,less gear shifting

To slow the cars down; a large majority of the drivers who raced there complained that the straight was too fast, especially for a regularly surfaced road.

And why not? Colin was a god at driving a car sideways, it would be pretty unbelievable to see a car like this drifting properly.

...but rally cars are designed to go sideways. These cars are far too taught to drift.
It's actually ... ( 3 months ago by vansoth)
It's actually because FIA mandated that the maximum length of a straight in any racing series was 2/3 kms. Drivers had complained in the past, particularly during the 917 era about the road surfacing, but I believe by the time the chicanes were put in, the cars had enough downforce and also the road surfacing was adequate for the speeds they were reaching.
Really? Ah, I ... ( 3 months ago by tbtstt)
Really? Ah, I didn't know that, I know drivers had stated that they thought it was dangerous, but I should have realised that it would be an FIA decision to change it rather than a drivers one.
The straight is just over 6km long, so I guess the two chicanes would break it down to just around 2km a section.
I know they thought the road surface and high speeds had contributed to the Mercedes CLR's flipping in '99 (even though the second flip was on a "slow" lap).
I'm sure some ... ( 3 months ago by vansoth)
I'm sure some drivers may have had issues with it, although I think the public road sections of Le Mans are pretty well surfaced as it is.
It is a legitimate reason, but it seems that the speeds with the chicanes are still high enough, and therefore it should be a factor of the car/ driver instead of the track.
Some of the drivers ... ( 3 months ago by 3000ST1)
Some of the drivers weren't too happy with the Chicanes as the Mulsanne straight was the only point on the lap where they could relax a little and check the gauges etc.
After a Sauber Merc C9 recorded 247mph in the 1989 qualifying session it was decided to add the chicanes the year after to slow the cars down - that kind of speed was deemed to be too high.

I can't describe how much i miss that! I was at Le Mans for the first time, saw Colin walking just in front of me at the parade, heard the truly stunning sound of that V12 for hours and hours in a row, and caught myself in taking out my earplugs, just to enjoy that beautiful sound.. Now both Colin and the 550 are gone..
