The ACO’s Twitter feed brings the two pictures below of work getting underway on the four new pit garages planned to increase the available grid slots for the Le Mans 24 Hours to 60 by 2017, (58 for the 2016 race).
As can be seen from the pictures the work effectively seals off the entrance to the current area used for Parc Ferme which will now move to the rear of the main Race Control building.
In related news, ACO President Pierre Fillon confirmed to DSC that the ACO initiative for introducing new technology to the race will retain the ‘Garage 56’ moniker despite the planned increase in garage numbers.
