I did a track day at the Bugatti circuit last year in my SR4. It had a 50 tooth rear sprocket fitted which was too large as I was running out of revs just prior to the chicane before the Dunlop bridge.

From my (limited) experience I would say that a 48 tooth would do the job nicely comparing the tightness of bends and lengths of straight on the Bugatti circuit to something like the Silverstone National circuit.

i had a look yesterdays;
the best option is 16X49 or like said Jamesrose 16X48 (but only if you are clean at the end of "the racordement" and "the garage vert").
When you come to Le Mans, do not hesitate to give me a mail (it the town were i live)
