Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Le Mans 24 Hours is no ordinary race - it is the one race that every racing driver wants to win. Back in 1923, the Grand Prix of Endurance was created to prove that the motorcar could be sporty and reliable - 100 years later teams and drivers are still battling it out for supremacy at Circuit de la Sarthe. Racers like Tom Kristensen, Jacky Ickx, Derek Bell, and Allan McNish have all become legends competing in the world's toughest race. Manufacturers see the race as a prestigious way to promote their brand which has led to some fierce on track battles between automotive giants such as Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar, Ford, Bentley, Audi, and Toyota. This book celebrates the history of the race, the innovations, the cars, the drivers, and the rivalries.
