Con ocasión de su centenario, el Automobil Club de l´Ouest (ACO), el alma y motor del circuito de Le Mans, ha editado esta magna obra en dos volúmenes y numerados, para evocar un siglo de carreras de Resistencia y Velocidad en el mítico circuito. Más de 700 páginas de documentación inédita y espectacular, más de 1.900 fotos y la crónica al detalle de cada una de las 73 ediciones de las 24 Horas, así como de todas las carreras de coches y motos que ha dado vida , desde 1906, a los circuitos de la Sarthe y Bugatti.

Only 2500 copies of the ACO's new book have been printed. It marks the centenary of the Club and is a two-volume history in English in a slip-case. There's a lot of content covering the years before the great race was created , and regarding races on the Bugatti circuit, but the main focus of the books is, of course, the 24 Hours. Each race is covered in six pages, though, so there's not a great deal of room for in-depth race coverage. The results are thorough, but qualifying is not mentioned. There are sections on drivers cars, other types of racing at the circuit and a history of track changes. Side-profile artworks of every winning car are included. It's a great souvenir and could rise in value in the years to come.
