Book: The 24 hours of LeMans / by Paul Frère

Paul Frère:

The 24 Hours of Le Mans - The history of the toughest endurance race in the world

Le Mans is more than a name. Le Mans is a myth, consecrated ground for motorsport enthusiasts. What happens there suits the legend. And when the drivers sprinted to their cars at the Le Mans start, a show of tingling excitement began that ripped everyone away, the drivers, the pit crews and the crowd: The 24 Hours of Le Mans are the toughest endurance test in motorsport. Motorsport history was written there, and Paul Frère himself was part of it: he won this murderous race together with Olivier Gendebien in 1960, and seven years later this cult book, which has long been one of the sought after classics of motor literature, was published. And even if the Le Mans start in this form has not been practiced for decades: This book, now available again in small numbers, brings back all the fascination of past racing glory. To browse, to join in - and to experience.
