Published in collaboration with the ACO (Automobile Club de l'Ouest), organisers of the Le Mans 24 Hours, this official book celebrates the centenary of the world's greatest sports car race. Besides recalling the most memorable moments in the event's history, the book takes an imaginative thematic approach in examining a huge range of topics to give a complete picture of the entire period, right up to Ferrari's victory in the centenary year. All the important subjects have their place, including the great drivers and cars, and are presented in an appealing style with plenty of thought-provoking angles. Technical evolution receives particularly enlightening coverage, with emphasis on the innovations and curiosities so evident at Le Mans over the years. Extensive period illustration blends with 'infographics', diagrams, poster artwork and memorabilia to provide a visually vivid presentation. This is the complete story of the Le Mans 24 Hours, told from the inside.

This book has been compiled by four French co-authors. During Gerard Holtz's 45-year television career he has covered the world's greatest sporting events, including the Tour de France, World Cup, Roland-Garros, Olympics, F1 and Le Mans. His son Julien Holtz is a consultant and software designer who has co-written many sports books with his father. Basile Davoine is a sports journalist and content manager for the website motorsport.com. Denis Bernard is an audio-visual director, automotive journalist and driver who has scripted many comic-strip books about Le Mans.
