Quote:
Since 1923, for one long weekend each year in the early summer, the eyes of the motor racing world have focused on a small town in north western France, whose name has become synonymous with the race that takes place annually on its outskirts. That race is The Grand Prix d'Endurance de Vingt-Quatre Heures du Mans, the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Le Mans is an institution, an event where the tradition and the history, the international rivalry, the heat and dust, the all-night-party atmosphere and the bleary dawn of the second day are as much a part of the experience as the race itself. And all of it is constructed around the colourful high-speed carnival on the famous circuit.
This book is the story of what makes Le Mans so special. With over 250 photographs, many previously unpublished and taken from the archives at Le Mans, along with newly researched material and interviews, Brian Laban tells the full story of the races, the drivers, the teams and the technology behind the most famous motor race in the world.

Now that I can actually read the cover (!), I see that "Dinger" just wrote the forward.
