Immerse yourself in the speed, adrenaline, and excitement of Le Mans.

In partnership with Motor Sport Magazine and with a foreword by Derek Bell MBE, this definitive guide takes readers on a thrilling journey through the 50 greatest moments of the most prestigious endurance race in the world.



From its earliest beginnings in 1923, Le Mans has been far more than a race. It has been a stage for extraordinary innovation and drama, and a battlefield on which the motoring world's greatest manufacturers have staked their reputations.

In this remarkable volume, Motor Sport Magazine's experts have selected the 50 moments that define a century of competition on the Circuit de la Sarthe, including:

  • John Duff's improbable debut victory in 1924
  • The Ford versus Ferrari wars of the 1960s
  • The tragedy of 1955
  • The knife-edge battle between Jacky Ickx and Hans Hermann in 1969

Each moment is brought to life through expert narrative, contemporary race reports from Motor Sport Magazine's unrivalled archive, and stunning photography. Along the way, discover the evolution of the circuit and the cars that made history on those roads, from Ferrari and BMW to Toyota and Aston Martin.

This is the story of the world's greatest race, told through its greatest moments.
