Something new to watch while drinking beer waiting for the start, ACO announced this afternoon.
'A new starting ceremony :A reference to the famous Le Mans herringbone start!
56 drivers will cross the track and get into their cars at 14h15 on Saturday at the start of the 78th Le Mans 24 Hours. The tradition of the herringbone start adapted to modern requirement will make its great comeback to Le Mans, and will be one of the highlights of this exceptional event..'

Well if your not going, may I sugest that you try a traditonal herringbone start at work next time :)
You know there is still time, I still have not booked my ferry, so any thing is possible!

I think the term is 'eschelon' as herringbone is one up, one across and they would crash.
Anyway, I'd like to see the guys run across the track, open doors, buckle themselves in in the modern machinery. It would take 2mins from flag drop to first car moving judging by their complexity.

Does it also mean that the crew member who does up the belts has to run with the driver????

Note the 14h 15 time.
They do something like this at the Classic, everyone runs to the cars jumps in and wizz off, then when the have passed the Dunlop bridge, stop and do up their seat belts.
