Le Mans is an institution, an event where the tradition and the history the international rivalry, the heat and dust, the all-night-party atmosp here and the bleary dawn of the second day are as much a part of the experience as the race itself.

Book excerpt: Between 1997 and 2014, Tom Kristensen won the world's toughest motor race, the Le Mans 24 Hours, a record nine times and finished on the podium on five more occasions. Every time his car made it to the finish, in fact, he was in the top three. It is no wonder that this great sports car driver is known as 'Mr Le Mans' to motorsport fans around the world. Now retired from racing, Kristensen shares in this book his deepest personal reflections and insights from inside and outside the cockpit. He looks back on more than 30 years spent striving for perfection in racing and tells of the battles and setbacks that sometimes seemed impossible to overcome, including a terrible accident in 2007. Climbing the racing ladder, from karting into Formula 3 single-seaters, including championship titles in Germany (1991) and Japan (1993), then Formula 3000 and a Formula 1 testing role with Tyrrell. Winning as an underdog on his first visit to Le Mans, in 1997 driving an elderly Joest-run privateer Porsche in which he impressed all onlookers with a night-time charge to vanquish Porsche's factory-entered favourite. His second Le Mans victory came in 2000 on his maiden drive for Audi in the R8, a car that was to become all-conquering. Kristensen won the next five editions of Le Mans, four times with Audi and once with Bentley (in 2003), his last victory in this sequence taking him past Jacky Ickx's previous record at the Circuit de la Sarthe. His eighth win came in one of the all-time classic contests at Le Mans, in 2008, a rollercoaster of a race in which his ageing diesel-powered Audi was never expected to beat the fancied works Peugeots. One more victory with Audi in 2013 sealed his reputation as a true legend of Le Mans. His story includes exploits at other racetracks all over the world, none more prolific than Sebring, home of America's long-established classic endurance race that Kristensen won six times. Personal reflections together with contributions from notable observers -- including English journalists Gary Watkins and Charles Bradley -- complete a truly rounded portrait of the man and his achievements. Voted 'Sports Book of the Year' when originally published in Kristensen's native Denmark, this thoughtful memoir is now available in English.

Download or read book Le Mans 1960-69 written by Quentin Spurring and published by Evro Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This was the defining decade for the Le Mans 24 Hours. It started with six consecutive victories by Ferrari, overwhelming Aston Martin and Maserati. But then Ford threw its all-American dollars at the race and won it four times in a technically exciting period that also brought the competitive emergence of brands such as Alfa Romeo, Matra, Porsche and Renault. The participation of great automobile manufacturers spurred the development of many iconic racing cars: Ferrari Testa Rossa and GTO, Ford GT40 and Daytona Cobra, Porsche 904 and 917. The machines that were specially built for Le Mans evolved through the decade from front-engined brutes to mid-engined monsters. By the end of the period, many of them could achieve more than 200mph on the awesome straights that defined the race, thrilling as many as 300,000 spectators at trackside. - Highly detailed year-by-year coverage of the decade's ten races, giving over 30 pages of information and photographs for each year. - Official status provides a number of unique features, including the reproduction of the full-colour race poster artwork for each year and photographs from the ACO's archives. - The images include rare color, and the emphasis is on photographs that enthusiasts will not have seen before. - The story of each race is told through photographs and an accompanying commentary. - Complete data for each year includes technical regulations, entry list, circuit changes (with diagram), lap chart, full results and category awards. - The whole work is beautifully designed and presented. - The 1960s was the decade of Ferrari and Ford: the Italian manufacturer took six consecutive wins until Ford finally came good, winning the decade's other four races, including the 1969 thriller that saw the closest ever finish at Le Mans.

Download or read book Le Mans 1930-39 written by Quentin Spurring and published by Evro Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Officially licensed with the ACO, the organisers of the annual Le Mans 24 Hours race, this sumptuous book is the seventh title in this decade-by-decade series and completes coverage of the endurance classic from its very beginning to the end of the 20th century. This title covers the nine races of the 1930s (no race was held in 1936) in which honours were divided between Italian, French and British manufacturers. Each race is exhaustively covered in vivid photographs, an insightful commentary providing more detailed information than has ever been published about the period, and full statistics. Compiled by an acknowledged authority of this legendary race, this series of books is treasured by all enthusiasts of sports car racing. In the 1930 race Bentley achieved its fourth consecutive success, Woolf Barnato and Glen Kidston the winning drivers in the very same ‘Speed Six' with which they had won in 1929. Two of Britain's greats of the era, Earl Howe and Henry Birkin, won for Alfa Romeo in 1931, beginning a four-race victory streak for the Italian manufacturer. Tazio Nuvolari, the outstanding Grand Prix ace of the pre-war decade, secured an intensely dramatic last-lap victory in 1933 in the closest Le Mans finish to date. Lagonda (1935) and Delahaye (1938) secured a win each, while Bugatti took two with the great Jean-Pierre Wimille driving its innovative Type 57 'Tank' cars, with all-enclosing bodywork. Highly detailed year-by-year treatment of the decade's nine races, giving unprecedented depth of information and photographic coverage for each year. Official status provides a number of unique features, including the reproduction of photographs and full-colour race poster artwork from the ACO's archives.Complete data for each year includes technical regulations, entry list, circuit changes (with diagram), full results and category awards. The whole work is beautifully designed and presented.

Book excerpt: De notoriété mondiale, la course des 24 Heures du Mans attire des concurrents venus de France bien sûr, mais aussi de toute l'Europe, des Etats-Unis, du Japon mais aussi du Venezuela, de Chine, du Brésil. C'est pour cela que l'épreuve est la pierre angulaire du nouveau championnat du Monde d'Endurance FIA. Depuis 1978, l'annuel des 24 Heures du Mans, à travers la même équipe rédactionnelle, se propose de faire revivre par le texte mais surtout par l'image la course mais aussi ses préparatifs et la fièvre qui s'empare de la Préfecture de la Sarthe tout au long de la semaine précédant le départ. Chaque voiture et leurs pilotes y sont présentés. Des essais préliminaires à l'explosion de joie suivant le drapeau à damiers en passant par le pesage, la parade des pilotes et surtout les moments forts de chaque heure, rien ne manque. Pour les plus passionnés, un chapitre technique avec tableaux et statistiques finit de compléter l'ensemble. Et en faisant appel à des photographes reconnus, l'ambiance qui ne cesse d'évoluer entre fin d'après-midi, nuit et lever de soleil dans un décor différent de celui d'un circuit traditionnel est parfaitement restituée. Depuis 2012, l'Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) confie l'édition de son annuel consacré aux 24 Heures du Mans à E-T-A-I, premier éditeur français de Beaux Livres sur la thématique du transport. Cet annuel officiel est donc un livre incontournable pour qui veut garder une trace d'un des plus grands événements sportifs annuels actuels.
