Le Mans 24 hours car race

The Le Mans 24 hour endurance car race has been held each year in April since 1923 and is thought to be the longest running sports car race. It is held on the Circuit of the Sarthe in Le Mans. The driving must be shared by at least three drivers and the challenge is that of keeping a machine on form for such a long period. Impressively each car covers over 5,000 kilometres over the 24 hour period.
