Everything has been said and written about the 24 Hours of Le Mans and its history, but the emphasis is rarely placed on the personalities who have marked the ninety years of racing. Engineers, designers and - of course - pilots, they naturally belong to the automotive world. However, many other 24 Hours actors come from the arts, music, film and elsewhere. The book pays homage to these characters who give a universal scope to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
