24h Centenary Book - Editions Cercle D'Art

For enthusiasts, Le Mans brings back memories of particularly striking places and scenes, of personalities and destinies. Throughout its century of existence, these moments have been captured in countless photographs. From black and white to color, these particularly vivid images reveal a whole world: that of racing cars, of course, but also that of the participants – drivers, engineers or mechanics – and of the public, always so numerous and varied.

Book available in French and English.

This luxurious book of over 400 pages, with its large dimensions and meticulous finishes, is presented as an album of photographs, chronologically arranged and mostly previously unpublished. These visuals bring to life a century of emotions and sporting achievements through images, while recalling the many technological advances that were tested there. The whole is presented with an elegant and airy layout, recreating the intense rhythm so characteristic of the event.

Perfect connoisseurs and true historians of the event, the authors summarize in both a synthetic and lively manner the major moments and actions of the key figures, identifying five main periods:

1923-1939 The Time of Pioneers
1949-1967 Reconstruction and Globalization
1968-1981 In Search of the Right Solution
1982-1999 A New Impetus for Endurance
2000-2022 The Energy Revolution
