Re: Grand Prix Vs. Le Mans

Other than the cars, what is perhaps most interesting is to see the changes in the infrastructure of each venue in the years since. In Le Mans, look at the driver's "motorhomes", basically little camping trailers, versus today's set-ups; the pit timing tables of plywood on sawhorses and in GP, the people wandering freely about the Paddock where today you can't get there without Bernie's personal approval. And then the whole safety thing . . .
