Originally written as the script for Steve McQueen's movie, Denne Petitclerc's Le Mans 24 was born at the 1967 Le Mans, where it was Ferrari versus Ford, old-world craftsmanship versus machine-age efficiency. Petitclerc crafts a novel of action and suspense transporting the reade...r to the rain-swept Le Mans race course and the battle between man and machine.
