      Mostly for safety. Chicanes were added to the layout in 1990 I believe and tremendously reduced the number of deaths during the Le Mans 24h. Even though the old Mulsanne straight might have been the most thrilling thing to do, life has no price ! And btw, those chicanes are actually super fun to drive, loads of speed in the entry and super important exit !
