What??

The point of it is competition. A byproduct is certainly technological improvements. That's like saying Wimbledon exists to improve the state of sneaker technology.

If it turned out that more automotive progress was made by having all those people spend 24 hours in a laboratory, would they replace the race with the "24 Heures du Lab". Of course not, because the race is the main point...
