[LM24] Fastest part of the Le Mans circuit

[Adam43]

I am pretty sure that most of the teams now think that the fastest part of the chicaned circuit is the run down to Indianapolis. Is this correct.

Now I also think that most of the speed trap figures are by the Restraunt on the first part of the Mulsanne Straight this is the fastest part of the three sections on the N138 I think, but why don't they measure the speeds before braking for the Indianapolis sequence? Tradition?

Also does anyone have any ideas what the difference in speed is at these two points? I would imagine that it isn't that much difference as most cars are nearing their terminal velocity. A couple of mph tops?

FWIW I read the Dome hit 207mph. I think there is a thread round here somewhere with this info!

Not that top speed is that important, but what do you think the actual top speed is over the Le Mans weekend? Any clues as to what the odd slipstreaming move might have added too?

And finally, is there anywhere else on other circuits that these cars race on that may rival these speeds? My guess is no.
