Note 7 of 24: One Amazing Test Session
Michelin places a tire engineer with every one of its partner teams at Le Mans to gain technical measures, insights and performance data for use in developing tires for consumers. With a wide variety of cars running at the same time on the same track in the same conditions, Le Mans provides a tremendous amount of data and helps support one of Michelin’s top objectives in motorsports, “race to learn.”
