Episode 23, The Laboratory of Innovation is super interesting as it focuses on Le Mans as a ‘development platform’ where Howden Haynes of Progressive Motorsport (a nine times Le Mans 24 winning engineer) reflects on the innovations that were either introduced or have origins that can be traced back through Le Mans, such as windscreen wipers, fog lights, seat belts, brake discs and turbo’s – things we all now take for granted on the cars we drive everyday.
