Here is a sensible answer for you DOHC:

If you want some statistics there is some useful info in the "History" section of www.maisonblanche.co.uk - it wont answer all your questions but has some good history on the circuit layouts over the years and winners distances etc.

There might also be some on the official ACO website but i can never find what i am looking for on that one (even in the English section)!!

I'm getting worried fran, helpful ???

 :)

A small statistic for DOHC...
After 15 hours of the 2003 race the winning Bentley had completed 237 laps.

The circuit is around 14 km long (No I havent measured it so that is from somewhere in my ancient memory and could be wrong)

I dunno about pitting and driver changes, but there is loads of info just "google" at it!

 ???

We have about four in Team Crapaud that only go for the party!! :D  That said, we have 3 that watch the whole race, breaking for the odd bite to eat :-\

Me - watch the race, get pissed and party !!  Best of both worlds!!  I've done so the past 8 years I've been, and see no reason to change my ways  8)
