Le Mans. La sfida del secolo

The intense competition and technological innovations make for a thrilling story, but I'm curious what drew A.J. Baime to this particular rivalry and era.

The descriptions of speed and danger felt so vivid — I could almost hear the engines and feel the adrenaline. Did these scenes make anyone else want to watch Le Mans?

There must have been countless anecdotes from the race and its characters. I wonder how the author chose which moments to highlight for maximum impact.
