What is really odd is that the run to the car LeMans start was used until the 1970 race. How would you like to run to the Gulf GT40, jump in and hammer away without the belts fastened? I guess it was pretty simple to do them up on the old Mulsanne straight while going 230 mph and steering with your knees...
Luckily the stupid and somewhat emasculating chicanes were far off in the future...
