Racing driver Tom Kristensen knows a thing or two about winning at Le Mans. The Dane has topped the podium at the prestigious 24 Hours event a total of nine times in his career – good news for Audi, who will need his expertise in order to chalk up another win at the circuit.

But before the event kicks off this weekend, Kristensen took a moment to talk the Internet through just what it takes to make a perfect lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe. In conjunction with Audi, Forza Motorsport 5 asked its players to bag their best runs around the racecourse, and stitched together the top times to create this realistic picture of the ideal lap.
