In addition to celebrating its own centenary in In 2015 the "Tabac" curve was re-profiled, slightly anticipating the entrance and thus shortening the track by three meters (from 3,340 to 3,337 today). Formula One cars do not incorporate any form of forced cooling, relying solely on air moving over the car to remove heat from the radiator elements. It had to be covered one hundred times.
