24 hours of Le Mans

Throughout its century of existence, every moment of Le Mans has been captured in countless photographs. From black & white to colour, these particularly vivid images bring to life a whole world: that of the cars, naturally, but also of the many human players drivers, engineers, mechanics and the public, always numerous and varied. The authors summarise the moments and actions of the key characters, identifying five major periods: 1923-1929: The time of the pioneers 1930-1967: Reconstruction and globalisation 1968-1981: In search of the right solution 1982-1999: The 21st century in sight 2000-2022: A Modern Race Text in English and French.
