24 Hours of Le Mans : Tour of the Michelin workshop within the Le Mans Paddocks.

Vidéo envoyée par Sandy_Dakar
After having shown you the small video concerning the Luc Alphand Aventures team tires, we wished to go to the Michelin workshop where more than 9000 tires are stored.
The 24 Hours of Le Mans is a big event for Michelin as they provide tires for 43 teams. Over 100 employees are on site for the very precise work on the tires. 20 semi-trailers are required to truck the tires needed for this event.
The tire choice depends on the weather. Each team chooses the type before the technicians mount them on the wheels. The incoming and outgoing traffic never stops…Michelin even has staff available at night while the race is on.
