24h Le Mans®

91^st edition

The 24 Hours of Le Mans offered us a fabulous spectacle for its centenary edition. It was a sell-out event that took place in front of no fewer than 325,000 spectators and the start was given by one of the biggest stars in the history of sport, basketball player, LeBron James. It has to be said that there was a bumper field on the grid with, in particular, five major manufacturers in the top-tier category, which had not been seen since 1999. Their cars were driven by stars including 13 former winners, 18 former F1 drivers and two victors of the Indianapolis 500.

Between race incidents and bad weather, no competitor in the running for overall victory was spared and all of them led the race at one moment or another. The no. 51 Ferrari 499P of James Calado, Alessandro Pier Guidi and Antonio Giovanazzi was locked in battle for victory with the no. 8 Toyota GR010 Hybrid for a long time. Finally, the Ferrari gave the brand its tenth victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the year it was making its comeback to the top-tier category in the 24 Hours of Le Mans after a 50-year break !

This 91^st edition has already gone down in history thanks to the surprise victory of the no. 34 Oreca 07 entered by Inter Europol Competition in LMP2, and that of the no. 33 Corvette C8.R which made up two laps to take the chequered flag in GTE Am ahead of an Aston Martin and a Porsche. From the Test Day to the finish plus the complete presentation of the 62 cars and the 186 drivers, without forgetting the regulations or all the extra-sporting events, our experts tell you the full story of the event in this official book through texts embellished by hundreds of photos, each one more beautiful than the next !
