The Next Big Thing
The annual festival of Le Mans is a pilgrimage that motor racing fans consider the jewel in the calendar’s crown. Weighed down with tents and cooler boxes, enthusiasts decamp upon the holy ground from all corners of the world to witness a menagerie of the fastest, tech-laden prototypes, and carbon-clad machines zip around at average speeds of 224 km/h for twenty four hours, waiting for fatigue or mechanical failure to strike. Motoring nirvana steeped in a 92-year-old tradition. But an event once a year is a fundamentally flawed case for a company that spends months at a time stuck behind closed garage doors tapping away on CAD designs, and building models to be used in aerodynamic tunnels.
