Well the "le mans story" did not take long, a really interesting book and must admit some stuff i had not been aware of before, hard going if you are not interested in underlying numbers of the early years but was obviously a good read as only took 3 days to finish it in small chunks.

Found what looks like a reasonable edition for £7 on Abe Books so marking that it's a Sunday evening having dined well I've ordered, which presumably means I'll need to recurate my racing bookshelves again soon.

I know the ACO are having to adjust to the lack of income but selling this years flag? price up to £113k so will fill a hole in the finances a little

Anyone want a set of LM annuals from 1978 to 2008 (+ 2013) and several swaps......

I remember one year finding a bigger piece of one of the GTE BMWs on a track run. I believe Kenn's son still have it. |

The one that Johannes took home said FORD, so might not have been the BMW.

Club des Pilotes
I confess I knew little about the ACO's Club des Pilotes although I did know that the Singher grandstand had something to do with it as I'd seen the sign at the back of the grandstand for a few years now.
I found this article from DSC in 2014 when the clubhouse in the grandstand was opened. http://www.dailysportscar.com/2014/0...augurated.html I record this as I've recently acquired a copy of the 2021-22 'Review' of the Club. I'm not entirely sure, but I assume that this review is generally only available to club members. It's a very smart 64 page booklet with articles in English and French about former Le Mans drivers. Really rather neat. I noticed that this is the 6th such review. It would be rather nice to get hold of the other five! (But as I've never seen one before, that sounds unilkely....). |

Smart.
That reminds me. I need to look for that book of the 24hr posters you mentioned in another thread. |

thanks.
I tried to source over here in US. Have done, but just noticed that delivery has been delayed until next week now. Not that there is a rush. |

I'm not sure that I ever mentioned buying this book - ,'Our Le Mans' , the story of the friendship that grew between Steve McQueen and Siegfried Rauch (Delaney/Stahler) during the making of 'Le Mans'. I picked it up a few months back for the princely sum of £14 (new) from Amazon. It's currently still on offer for £24.77 instead of £35. I've not got round to reading it yet, but there's a lot of interesting stuff in it, plus some great photographs.
