The ACO has fiddled with the start time 4-5 times in the last 20 years. I feel like Allon. It should be 4 pm because that IS the time the Le Mans 24 Hours should start. Simple as that. There have been enough changes to the great race over the last few years - too many changes - few of which have been for the better - IMO.
But, I guess there does have to be a but.... A slightly earlier finish may have certain advantages to our party in term,s of getting to where we want to be after the race - not that it matters greatly to me. I sleep all the way there - they wake me for dinner - and I sleep all evening after that........
I confess I'm struggling to see a really essential reason to move the time - what they have stated sounds pretty woolly.......
