Friday favourite: The “no compromise” track where a Le Mans winner notched up a century
“It’s been over a decade since Christophe Bouchut last raced at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, his favorite circuit. He loves the combination of corners, elevation, and challenging braking zones, saying that everything is done for him there. He enjoys the mix of a normal circuit with a street circuit, where a mistake can send you into the wall. Bouchut prefers tracks where he can attack corner entries rather than relying on speed on straights. Mid-Ohio’s 13-turn track suits his driving style, allowing him to brake late and push the car to the limit. He particularly enjoys the first and final corners, where he feels like he can keep pushing lap after lap. He describes The Keyhole as a perfect corner and finds the approach to Turn 4 very challenging. Bouchut believes that Mid-Ohio is more challenging than European circuits and is grateful for his strong record at the track. He has two class poles and victories from three appearances at Mid-Ohio, racing with Level 5 Motorsport and team owner Scott Tucker.”
