context1: For the first time the traditional Le Mans start, in which the <strong>drivers</strong> run across the track to enter their cars, was replaced by a variant in which the <strong>pilots</strong> already sat in their cars, having had their belts safely strapped tight by mechanics. But now almost all cars entered the track simultaneously, so for 1971, a rolling Indianapolis start was chosen. For Porsche's 20th participation, Ferry Porsche himself was given the honour of dropping the tricolor flag at 16:00.
context2: A contract was awarded for an initial 18-month trial period beginning in June, 2007. The <strong>pilot</strong> project proved to be more successful than expected, and the town council approved the creation of a permanent transit system at its meeting on June 16, 2009. The contractor Cardinal Coach Lines which has since been acquired by First Canada, is responsible for providing the vehicles, <strong>drivers</strong> and maintenance.
