Le Mans 24 hours: New garages and as many as 60 race cars for Le Mans 24 hours 2016

Initially, it was thought that we would get this renovation this year, but now it has been postponed to next year, when they will also reorganize the paddock, says ACO President Pierre Fillon: "We will build more garages, but we also need to reorganize the paddock, which we will made it to the place where the parc ferme is now.

In today’s practice, Loic Duval was too fast as he flew off the track in a Porsche corner. The cause of the accident is still unknown, but the Audi R18 e-tron is on the pro-factors. Loic is said to be conscious and without medical specialties, but a lot of information is not yet known to the general public. However, Duval is in a local hospital in Le Mans, where he will remain under observation at least overnight. It should be noted that Audi will try to assemble a new car, in which case they would be left unpunished. In any case, the Frenchman will not be allowed to take part in Sunday's race, for health precautionary reasons. Instead of Loic, Audi will call backup and test racer Gene from the Jota Sport Zytek LMP2 team.
