  Circuit de la Sarthe Ford Chicanes - Mohd Azad Jasmi - Fotopages.com
The circuit on which the 24 Hours of Le Mans is run is named the Circuit de la Sarthe (Circuit of the Sarthe), after the Sarthe department that Le Mans is within.
The public sections of the track differ from the permanent circuit, especially in comparison to the Bugatti Circuit which is inside the Circuit de la Sarthe.
The circuit would also undergo one of its most notable changes in 1990, when the 5 km long Mulsanne was modified to include two chicanes in order to stop speeds of upwards of 386 km/h from being reached.

 Circuit de la Sarthe - Wikipedia
Il Circuit de la Sarthe, sede della 24 ore di Le Mans, è un tracciato non permanente che utilizza strade locali intorno alla città Le Mans nel dipartimento della Sarthe in Francia e dal 1965 una parte del permanente Circuito Bugatti.
Durante gli anni '70 le velocità massime diminuirono, dopo che nuove regole ridussero le dimensioni e la potenza dei motori, mentre l'evoluzione dell'aerodinamica permise agli ingegneri di aumentare la velocità nelle curve e ridurre quella massima.
Altre modifiche hanno riguardato la sostituzione della sezione della Maison Blanche ("casa bianca") con le odierne curve Porsche, e l'introduzione di una nuova chicane nella curva Dunlop nel 2002.

 CYCLING : Ullrich saddles up again after a long rough spell
It was this close: The official list of starters for the four-day Circuit de la Sarthe bicycle race, which began here Tuesday, did not include his name.
So, at 10:24 a.m., Ullrich, winner of the Tour de France in 1997 and four times second in that race, mounted a small stage alongside the Loire River in chilly Nantes and, for the first time in 14 months, signed in as a competitor.
For now, the German source said, Ullrich is not thinking about success in the Tour de France but about the end of the season — the Vuelta, the world championships — after he has ridden himself back into top form.

Spa and Monza are also two of the fastest circuits on the Formula 1 calendar and are probably a better guide of lap times at the Circuit de la Sarthe than the Circuit de Catalunya, where the ratio of corners to straights is higher.
However I think the gap between F1 and LMS cars would be wider at Catalunya than at Spa, Monza and the Circuit de la Sarthe.
Besides, Circuit de la Sarthe is mostly made up of really fast corners which could probably be taken at about 65%-75% throttle in the current F1 cars, without any real tuning.
