LES 24 HEURES DU MANS: L'HISTOIRE
On 18 November 1922, the front page of the daily L'Auto mentioned for the first time an endurance race, which would take place a few months later.
A century later, the 24 Hours of Le Mans is so well known that the world's leading manufacturers return every year to beat their rivals. If some have triumphed several times, it has often been after suffering many cruel setbacks on this difficult circuit.
Performance, speed, handling, braking, power, fuel economy, lighting, safety… you don't win at Le Mans simply per case.
Les 24 Heures du Mans: l'histoire retraces the greatest moments of this legendary race through exceptional and never-before-seen documents - from the first laps on the circuit of the Lorraine-Dietrich to the victories of the great manufacturers: Bentley, Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, Ferrari, Jaguar, Ford, Porsche, Matra, Renault, Peugeot, Audi, and Toyota.
Crucial technological advances were achieved at Le Mans, allowing drivers such as Rossignol, Barnato, Chinetti, Gendebien, Ickx, Pescarolo, Hill, Rondeau, Kristensen and Nakajima to achieve extraordinary exploits and world fame.
