F1 News - Grandprix.com > GP Encyclopedia > Circuits > Le Mans The international fame of Le Mans was not to be based on Grand Prix racing, however, but rather on the 24 Heures du Mans which was held for the first time in 1923. It was at Le Mans in 1955 that the sport suffered its greatest disaster when Pierre Levegh's Mercedes flew into the crowd killing the driver and at least 83 spectators. The Le Mans 24 Hours went on with Jacky Ickx winning his first race (sharing his Ford GT40 with Jackie Oliver) in 1969, the pair winning by just 120 meters. www.grandprix.com /gpe/cir-037.html   (868 words)

Unveiled in Frankfurt: The Audi Le Mans quattro Text and photos courtesy of Audi AG A high-performance sports car, a roadgoing vehicle that could be said to have inherited the genes of the Audi R8, three-times winner of the Le Mans 24-Hours race: Audi reveals its `Le Mans quattro' concept study. The Audi Le Mans quattro is a markedly `cab forward' design, typical of a mid-engined sports car and with visible echoes of the Audi R8. When the Audi Le Mans quattro is driven at a speed above 120 km/h, its rear spoiler is extended automatically into the slipstream, to add to the `negative lift' generated by the aerodynamic design of the floor pan and the diffusers. www.audiworld.com /news/03/frankfurt/lemans/content.shtml   (1289 words)

Cars race the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France, officially known there as the 24 Heures du Mans, which began in May of 1923. One twist to this race is the favored car to win the overall title is the Audi R10, a diesel-powered car that won the 24-hour Le Mans earlier this year. deseretnews.com /dn/view/0,1249,640194222,00.html   (1005 words)

Last check: 2007-11-06) "Le Mans" attempts to portray the excitement, the speed, the sound, and the surreal quality of the race, and yes, some of the boredom and stupidity as well. The storyline features McQueen in a nicely understated performance as a racer returning to competition at Le Mans one year after a nearly fatal accident, one in which a close friend was killed. Much of the movie is given over to an almost loving examination of all the sights and sounds of Le Mans and of the racers and the fans it attracts. www.amazon.com /Mans-Steve-McQueen/dp/B00008DDRX   (1691 words)

::Elefant Records:: Los primeros pasos de LE MANS se basan en unas influencias insólitas para un grupo de pop español de aquella época (MARINE GIRLS, FELT y los grupos de Cherry Red, el sonido Motown), con un sonido que marcaría profundamente a toda una generación de bandas españolas. Le siguen momentos más plácidos y relajados, cien por cien LE MANS, como “Jersey inglés” (con sus guiños a ORANGE JUICE), “Juan” o “Al bulevar”. En el tercer álbum de LE MANS el tono predominante (tanto en la música como en la portada) es el gris: desencanto y melancolía llevadas al infinito, guitarras desnudas, voz temblorosa y emocionante, y muy pocos más elementos. www.elefant.com /grupos_dis.php?id=2   (1293 words)
