24 hours of Le Mans cover

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.
