The 24 Hours of Le Mans: The Story - New Edition

The definitive book on the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
A new chapter dedicated to Ferrari's three consecutive victories!

On November 18, 1922, the front page of L'Auto newspaper mentioned for the first time the creation of an endurance race that would take place a few months later. A century later, the fame of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is such that the world's biggest manufacturers return each year to defeat their rivals. What racing driver hasn't dreamed of competing in this legendary race one day? While some have triumphed multiple times, it's often after suffering numerous cruel setbacks on this demanding circuit. Performance, speed, handling, braking, power, fuel consumption, lighting, safety... you don't win at Le Mans by chance. The new edition of 24 Heures du Mans: l'histoire (24 Hours of Le Mans: The Story) recounts, through exceptional documents, the most beautiful moments of this mythical race. From the first laps of the Lorraine-Dietrich to the victories of major manufacturers such as Bentley, Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Toyota, Jaguar, Porsche, and Audi, the authors tell us about the exploits of the best drivers – André Rossignol, Joël Barnato, Luigi Chinetti, Olivier Gendebien, Jacky Ickx, Henri Pescarolo, Jean Rondeau, Tom Kristensen – and, in a new chapter, revisit Ferrari's last three consecutive victories, including the centenary one.
