A track lap with...Stéphane Sarrazin!
ELMS - 08/04/2010
Peugeot works driver, Stéphane Sarrazin, will drive the Team ORECA-Matmut Peugeot 908 HDi FAP in the Castellet 8 Hours.
Join Stéphane to discover the Paul Ricard HTTT circuit that he knows so well:
“At the end of the start-finish line, you brake for the first tightened chicane “La Verrerie”, taken in second gear. This is a difficult corner, because there is a little bump and you have to find out the right time to accelerate. A quick squirt of power before you jump on the brakes for the right-handed “Hotel” corner. The “Camp” right-hander hairpin, taken in first gear, is upon you very quickly. You must stay on the left side to accelerate very early before the “Sainte Beaume” right-hander, which is the most difficult corner of the track. You can lose a lot of time if your car is not well-balanced. Then you are flat out in the left-hand corner at the beginning of the “Mistral” straight, where you reach the top speed..."
"...You slightly brake for the very famous “Signes” right-handed corner, taken in fifth gear. The entrance of this corner is blind and you cannot take it flat-out otherwise you cannot accelerate properly. Hard on the brakes and you are in the double-apex right-hander “Le Beausset”, taken in third gear. There is a little banking and a lot of grip so you can keep a good pace. You have to take the next tightened left-handed corner very carefully. Another short burst of power before the next left-hander where the car moves a lot. The final right-handed “Pont” hairpin is taken in first gear. It is very easy to make a mistake and to lose three tenths of a second before you are back on the start-finish line.”
