This year, traffic is particularly challenging due to GT3 cars braking the latest on every brake zone, arriving slower to corners than last year. While GT3 cars are slower in top speed compared to GTE cars, they have ABS this year, providing superior braking performance. 23 GT3 cars are seeking the first-ever victory in the LMGT3 category at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The increased late braking by GT3 cars creates difficulty in traffic management as faster classes like Hypercars and LMP2 cars overtake, potentially causing incidents during the race. Effective communication and smart decision-making within traffic are crucial for survival in this year’s Le Mans edition due to the challenging traffic dynamics. The new energy management rule plays a significant role in managing traffic effectively and efficiently during the race.
