As the title suggests, the book charts Porsche’s remarkable tally of victories in the world’s toughest endurance race, the Le Mans 24-Hour. Driven by the very best sports car drivers in the world, Porsche ensured that it was in the best possible position each year to extract the greatest performance out of its cars, thereby increasing its chances of a victory. Sometimes events played out in Porsche’s favour, but 16 victories in the Le Mans 24-Hour race over three decades can only be attributed to their clinical attention to detail and meticulous preparation. The author has interviewed 24 drivers, race managers and team principles to compile a unique, multi-faceted account of Porsche’s achievements in this classic race. The book is illustrated by more than 600 images, many previously unpublished, making this a truly exciting and important addition to any racing enthusiast’s library.
