Packed with photography, narrative, and race results, Le Mans 100 is the definitive illustrated centennial history of this iconic motorsport event.

Held on the Circuit de la Sarthe comprising closed public roads and dedicated racecourse, Le Mans features cars and two-driver teams that can cover more than 3,000 miles during the race.

Le Mans 100 is a thorough year-by-year history showcasing all aspects of the grueling contest, including:

  • A slew of legendary marques and models, including Porsche, Ferrari, Ford, Corvette, Cobra, Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Audi, Toyota, BMW, McLaren, and more
  • A who's-who of motorsport legends like Juan Manuel Fangio, Stirling Moss, Carroll Shelby, Dan Gurney, Ken Miles, Jackie Ickx, Derek Bell, and Tom Kristensen (among dozens others)
  • All the classes that ran in each year's event, including the top LMP1 and LMP2 (Le Mans Prototype) categories and GT (grand tourer) 
  • A list of each year's top three overall finishers

In addition, author and award-winning Le Mans historian Glen Smale details touchstone events such as the late-1960s battles between Ford and Ferrari popularized in the film Ford vs Ferrari, and the 1955 tragedy that claimed the lives of more than 80 spectators.
