	24 Hours of Le Mans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1969, for his first Le Mans 24 hours, a young Belgian talent and F1 GP winner, Jacky Ickx, made a pointed demonstration of the danger of this start method, when instead of running across the track to his machine, he slowly walked, then entered in his car and locked the safety belts properly.
		So the traditional Le Mans practice was partially discontinued the next year in 1970; for this year, the cars were still lined up in echelon formation along the pit straight, with engines off, but the drivers were strapped in prior to the start.
		Le Mans is also known for the worst accident in the history of motor racing, the Le Mans 1955 disaster, in which over 80 people were killed.

	Le Mans (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Le Mans (1971; director: Lee Katzin) is a film starring Steve McQueen, featuring the actual 1970 24 hours of Le Mans auto race.
		Instead, in the movie, he was shown starting the race on the blue #20 Gulf-Porsche 917K, which in the real race was driven by Jo Siffert and Brian Redman.
		This #29 camera car, which can be briefly seen in the starting grid covered with a fl sheet, travelled 282 laps (3,798 km) and finished the race as 9th, but it was not classified as it had not covered enough distance due to the stops to change film reels.

		Le Mans’ signature run-across-the-road-leap-in-and-go start began as a measure of automotive utility in an age when many weren’t entirely convinced that cars were practical devices for long distance travel.
		The 24 Hours of Le Mans was organized to prove the efficacy of the long distance touring automobile.
		But Porsche had finally won Le Mans, and there is no asterisk in the record book, save the one noting Ferry Porsche’s honorary participation at the start.

	Speed Arena :: Le Mans 2005
		- Le Mans was actually the home of the first French Grand Prix - not at the current circuit, but on a 103km road circuit to the east of the city.
		- Le Mans was also made famous by the "Le Mans Start" where drivers would line up on the opposite side of the track and run to climb aboard their cars on the dropping of the green flag.
		- Le Mans is also the location for one of the world's most famous racing movies - imaginatively titled "Le Mans." The movie was filmed on location at the 1970 Le Mans 24 Hour.

	Test Drive Le Mans Preview - Dreamcast News at GameSpot
		Le Mans is the first game that allows you to race uninterrupted for 24 hours straight.
		At least this is the case with Test Drive: Le Mans, a racing title that concerns itself with professional grand prix racers and their Formula 1 autos - cars that, as you may recall, wouldn't have even been allowed on the streets that the Test Drive series used to call home.
		Granted, it's almost superfluous to argue whether or not Test Drive: Le Mans deserves the burden of being associated with a rather mediocre racing lineage, but there is a method to this rambling.

	Le Mans
		A classic auto-racing movie starring Steve McQueen, Le Mans puts the audience in the driver's seat for what is often called the most grueling race in the world.
		Le Mans is much like the earlier movie "Grand Prix" in that the real stars are the stupendous racing machines that populate the film (though McQueen WAS originally slated to star in GP).
		This was the first movie I saw in a theatre that made the seats vibrate where you could literally feel the raw power of the 5 litre 12 cylinder machines.

	Don Hollway: McQUEEN'S Le MANS
		The only problem was, Le Mans so far consisted of a great deal of fantastic racing footage, without a completed script or even much of a story line—a problem which was to dog the project throughout its development and nearly prove its undoing.
		Le Mans officials, however, were leery of movie cameras falling off the 908 during the race.
		He’d rented a 30-room mansion near Le Mans to make Neile as comfortable as possible when she arrived with their children, but she was little comforted.

		Anybody that know anything about racing will tell you that pretty much everything in that movie is complete horse****.
		For once and for all that movie is base on the CART (championship auto racing teams) series and not the IRL or F1.
		One of the worst parts of the movie is what Stallone and some other guy are in race cars going like 200mph on city streets (no helmets on) and they are talking to each other.

		When you look the movie closely, during one of the pit stops from a Ferrari 512 you will notice the s/n 1048 on the inside of the drivers door.
		I've already seen the movie four times, but it is still an excitement to watch it again.
		All I know is that various sources state the car was destroyed at Le Mans in 1970 and that it was probably rebuilt using some original parts, but again I don't know to what extent.

		"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.
		Above all else, from the beginning to the end Le Mans has a surreal quality where speed and concentration result in all other aspects of 'real life' being forgotten.
