traveling at high to 200 mph through complete darkness. You need to make the necessary adjustments right away.
This is why, according to two-time winner Will Stevens, the 24 Hours of Le Mans is so unique.
He said, “It’s very difficult to adapt to the nighttime, but once you’re in it, you feel very much in the zone,” to Local Radio.
“The finest part of the race is really driving in these vehicles at night, as much as you don’t want to do it.
It’s an iconic race because “your adrenaline is pumping and you can’t seem to switch off when you’re not in the car.”
The 32-year-old former Formula 1 driver Stevens has won Le Mans in two of the major classes, and this year he hopes to add a third in the fastest and most coveted class—the hypercar.
The Essex-born driver, who now resides in Surrey, won the LMP2 class two years ago before taking first place in the amateur GTE Am class in 2017.
He advanced to compete in the World Endurance Championship last year with the Hertz Jota squad in the hypercar.
