The Dunlop Bridge is a landmark advertising footbridge. There are several of them, situated at a number of different motor racing circuits around the world. The oldest surviving example of this bridge is at the Circuit de la Sarthe, the home of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The bridge is regarded as one of the most recognisable features at a motorsport venue, particularly the Circuit de la Sarthe and Donington Park, although the latter was removed during renovations for the failed attempt to stage the 2010 British F1 Grand Prix, and due to new racing safety regulations, cannot be restored.

  • Une passerelle Dunlop est un passage aérien permettant aux spectateurs de se déplacer d'un côté à l'autre d'une piste d'un circuit automobile. Elle prend la forme d'un pneumatique et fait référence à l'entreprise Dunlop. Au fil des années, ce type d'infrastructure s'est répandu et est devenu aujourd'hui un élément familier du sport automobile, au même titre que le Bibendum et le dirigeable Goodyear. La plus ancienne et la plus célèbre passerelle est celle installée sur le circuit des 24 Heures ; elle date de 1923. Certaines passerelles dont celle du Mans ont été utilisées pour médiatiser le lancement de nouveaux pneumatiques. (fr)
