of Le Mans

| Since
1923 men have headed to France in the summer, seeking to conquer the clock
with their iron chariots. In the beginning the automobile was in its infancy
and it was thought that such an endurance race would prove to the public
the benefits of motorized travel. Now, over seventy years later, men still
come to Le Mans not only to showcase their skill but because of an unidentifiable
inner drive, pushing them to go farther and faster than ever before. Relive
the action of the past 75 incarnations of the 24 Heures Du Mans from the
predepression races dominated by Bentley, through the Mercedes-Benz tragedy
in '55, the Ford and Ferrari battles of the '60's, the recent Audi dominance,
and the Porsche years in between.
