2006 1000 km of Istanbul

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Track map of the Istanbul Park

The 2006 1000 km of Istanbul was the opening race of the 2006 Le Mans Series season run by the ACO. It was run on April 9, 2006.

Due to a mistake made by event organizers, not enough fuel was brought to Istanbul to be able to supply all the entrants for a distance of 1000 km. Thus, the race was quickly shortened to a 4-hour timed race in order to ensure that there would be enough fuel for everyone.[1][2]
