The pit entry has been changed for the WEC opener at Sebring following concerns by drivers and an accident at the end of the Prologue 🔀 Full story ⬇️
The accident happened late in the final session of the Prologue when the Ferrari moved to the right to enter the pits just as the LMP2 driver was lining up to pass.Heinemeier Hansson said: “He was going at full speed on the line and then braked to go into the pits.
“It doesn’t seem sensible to me to have the pit entry where you are doing 250km/h [155mph] in sixth gear.The reversion to the previous layout has been welcomed by Toyota’s Sebastien Buemi, who told Autosport: “I find it much better to go back to what we had last year. It’s not perfect because the pit entry is a bit on the racing line.
“But what we had at the Prologue was very dangerous because you had the entry at a place where you do not normally brake, which meant you had someone braking on the racing line.”
