More updates for Le Mans

The Automobile Club de l'Ouest, the club that runs the Le Mans 24 Hours, is to invest in a refurbishment of the paddock and racing village area, increasing the paddock to 60,000sq.ft and building additional pit garages to enable the club to have 55 starters in the 2006 24 Hours. The village area is to be completely revamped with shops, bars and restaurants being built around a new central square and a balcony which will overlook the paddock to allow the fans to catch glimpses of the racing people inside.
