89th édition
Although Toyota had a fraught race, the Japanese manufacturer managed to clinch its fourth victory on the bounce in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the first of the new Hypercar era. Mike Conway-Kamui Kobayashi-Jose María López scored their elusive maiden win in car no. 7. Alpine came home in a well-deserved third place on its return to the top category and the amazing American team Glickenhaus Racing made a stunning debut in the Sarthe. Team WRT's triumph in LM P2 and the stranglehold of Ferrari in LM GTE are also recounted in this annual through hundreds of carefully-selected photos and captions penned by the authors. The presentation of the teams and drivers, the regulations, the results and other interesting aspects including interviews and in-depth articles are included in this annual, which is much sought after by collectors. It will help you understand and relive the 89th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which was another special one as it was put off until August.
Thibaut Villemant
He has been a car buff ever since he was a kid and attended his first 24 Hours of Le Mans aged five! After studying at Nanterre University in the Parisian region, he joined Auto Hebdo in 2009. He became a leading reporter and assistant chief editor up until June 2021. During those years, Jean-Marc Teissedre took him under his wing and taught him all the tricks of the trade. In 2014, Jean-Marc asked him to join the editorial team of the official 24 Hours of Le Mans annual. In 2021, Thibaut worked at Le Mans as a consultant for the L'Equipe TV channel.
Jean-Marc Teissedre
Scale-models led the young teacher to discover his true vocation and he became one of the best - if not the best - endurance racing specialists. His new calling coincided - and it was no coincidence - with the launch of Auto Hebdo in 1976 ! He remained faithful to the magazine throughout his career and it made him into a major figure in the milieu. However, his day job didn't prevent him from investing his talent and enthusiasm in all the major books dedicated to his speciality, including this annual since 1978 on which he's worked with the late Christian Moity, Alain Bienvenue and Thibaut Villemant. In addition to his rigour as a true professional he brings the meticulousness of a model maker, which he's always been, to his work, as he also created the monthly revue Auto Modelisme and only relinquished the role of its chief editor a short time ago.
