Video: watch a Le Mans LMP2 car get stripped to its core
Time lapse footage of Strakka Racing's WEC car is strangely hypnotic
Naturally, you'll know that at the end of every race season, teams decamp back to their HQs, fish out some spanners and strip race cars. Probably for fun.
Mostly, though, it's just standard preparation for the upcoming season. Which is 2016. So may we present Strakka Racing, seen in the video above taking its Gibson 015S racer apart ahead of this year's World Endurance Championship. The one that features Le Mans, of course.
It's time-lapse footage, so everything is done and dusted within one and a half minutes. From fully race-prepped racing machine, right down to the naked carbon core. It's weirdly hypnotic, too.
Hit play above, and see if you can spot the most vital of all the workshop's tools (clue: the little Henry vacuum cleaner).
