The SP1 class, the creme de la creme of 24-hour racing means more than just taking some prototypes down the track and race them for a full day.
Thousands of hours of developing, testing, redeveloping and testing again, practicing a whole year just to culminate with a decisive 24-hours race.
And if all that prepping wasn’t hard enough, just wait to see how the race is putting stress both on humans and machines. Engines are putting through constant pain, the suspension is pushed hard in each corner and the brakes have to support immense friction and heat, while the drivers have to be fully concentrated all time. If that still doesn’t sound hard enough, just wait for the night to fall, when fatigue and low visibility make everything worse.
