Tom Kristensen og Le Mans - Nils Finderup - Bog - Gyldendal - Plusbog.dk

Tom Kristensen og Le Mans - Nils Finderup - Bog - Gyldendal - Plusbog.dk

Le Mans. Umiddelbart en helt almindelig fransk provinsby, men en gang om året centrum for verdens mest legendariske racerløb. Siden 1923 er de 24 timers Le Mans blevet afviklet i en nådesløs kamp mellem mænd, maskiner og minutviser. Næsten alle historiens bedste kørere og bilproducenter har forsøgt at vinde denne klassiker, ofte med livet som indsats. Le Mans har skabt fantastiske fortællinger og legender, og da belgieren Jacky Ickx i 1982 vandt sin sjette sejr, sagde alle, at hans rekord aldrig ville blive slået. En dansker ville det imidlertid anderledes. Med ni sejre har Tom Kristensen skrevet sig ind som den største kører i det største løb af alle. Dette er bogen om deres fælles utrolige historie.

Mr Le Mans: Tom Kristensen - Dan Philipsen - Bog - Evro Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Between 1997 and 2014, Tom Kristensen won the world’s toughest motor race, the Le Mans 24 Hours, a record nine times and finished on the podium on five more occasions. Every time his car made it to the finish, in fact, he was in the top three. It is no wonder that this great sports car driver is known as ‘Mr Le Mans’ to motorsport fans around the world. Now retired from racing, Kristensen shares in this book his deepest personal reflections and insights from inside and outside the cockpit . He looks back on more than 30 years spent striving for perfection in racing and tells of the battles and setbacks that sometimes seemed impossible to overcome, including a terrible accident in 2007. - Climbing the racing ladder, from karting into Formula 3 single-seaters, including championship titles in Germany (1991) and Japan (1993), then Formula 3000 and a Formula 1 testing role with Tyrrell. - Winning as an underdog on his first visit to Le Mans, in 1997 driving an elderly Joest-run privateer Porsche in which he impressed all onlookers with a night-time charge to vanquish Porsche’s factory-entered favourite. - His second Le Mans victory came in 2000 on his maiden drive for Audi in the R8, a car that was to become all-conquering. - Kristensen won the next five editions of Le Mans, four times with Audi and once with Bentley (in 2003), his last victory in this sequence taking him past Jacky Ickx’s previous record at the Circuit de la Sarthe. - His eighth win came in one of the all-time classic contests at Le Mans, in 2008, a rollercoaster of a race in which his ageing diesel-powered Audi was never expected to beat the fancied works Peugeots. - One more victory with Audi in 2013 sealed his reputation as a true legend of Le Mans. - His story includes exploits at other racetracks all over the world, none more prolific than Sebring, home of America’s long-established classic endurance race that Kristensen won six times. - Personal reflections together with contributions from notable observers — including English journalists Gary Watkins and Charles Bradley — complete a truly rounded portrait of the man and his achievements. Voted ‘Sports Book of the Year’ when originally published in Kristensen’s native Denmark, this thoughtful memoir is now available in English.

Tom K's Sjette Le Mans-triumf - Nils Finderup - Bog - Finsen - Plusbog.dk

Tom K's Sjette Le Mans-triumf - Nils Finderup - Bog - Finsen - Plusbog.dk

Med sin sjette sejr på Le Mans kørte Tom Kristensen sig på omgangshøjde med belgieren Jacky Ickx - og med sigte på at slå alle tiders rekordholder på den franske bane. Netop Jacky Ickx er en af Toms største fans, og det var en ære for ham at skrive forordet til denne bog, der modsat de tidligere udgivelser om Tom Kristensen beskriver hele optakstfasen til et Le Mans. Vi kommer bag kulisserne og får et indblik i, hvad det kræver at skulle pleje presse, sponsorer og forventninger - men naturligvis får læserne også det utrolige drama, hvor sejren først i de sidste minutter kommer i hus. 'Tom K's Sjette Le Mans-triumf' er spækket med flotte billeder, leveret af nogen af branchens ypperste fotografer. Bogen giver et sjældent kig ind i et teams inderste garagekroge, idet Tom Kristensen dette år kørte for det japanske privatteam Goh, der havde færre restriktioner end Audi og tillod udvalgte fotografer at komme helt tæt på.

Le Mans - Quentin Spurring - Bog - Evro Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This was the defining decade for the Le Mans 24 Hours. It started with six consecutive victories by Ferrari, overwhelming Aston Martin and Maserati. But then Ford threw its all-American dollars at the race and won it four times in a technically exciting period that also brought the competitive emergence of brands such as Alfa Romeo, Matra, Porsche and Renault. The participation of great automobile manufacturers spurred the development of many iconic racing cars: Ferrari Testa Rossa and GTO, Ford GT40 and Daytona Cobra, Porsche 904 and 917. The machines that were specially built for Le Mans evolved through the decade from front-engined brutes to mid-engined monsters. By the end of the period, many of them could achieve more than 200mph on the awesome straights that defined the race, thrilling as many as 300,000 spectators at trackside. - Highly detailed year-by-year coverage of the decade''s ten races, giving over 30 pages of information and photographs for each year. - Official status provides a number of unique features, including the reproduction of the full-colour race poster artwork for each year and photographs from the ACO''s archives. - The images include rare color, and the emphasis is on photographs that enthusiasts will not have seen before. - The story of each race is told through photographs and an accompanying commentary. - Complete data for each year includes technical regulations, entry list, circuit changes (with diagram), lap chart, full results and category awards. - The whole work is beautifully designed and presented. - The 1960s was the decade of Ferrari and Ford: the Italian manufacturer took six consecutive wins until Ford finally came good, winning the decade''s other four races, including the 1969 thriller that saw the closest ever finish at Le Mans.

Le Mans - Quentin Spurring - Bog - Evro Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Le Mans hosted the fastest racing cars on the planet, top speeds on the world-famous Mulsanne straight exceeding 250mph for the first time in 1988. This decade''s new Group C regulations challenged motorsport engineers to achieve race-winning engine performance while saving fuel, fostering the original rationale of this historic event as a proving ground for emerging automotive technologies. It accelerated the development of control electronics and aerodynamics, and soon increasingly sophisticated racing coupés were setting new performance standards. The 1980 event was uniquely won by Jean Rondeau, a Le Mans resident, with a car of his own manufacture. After seven impressive Porsche successes, Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz, both returning to motorsport after long absences, won in 1988 and 1989. By the end of the decade, Le Mans was contested by Aston Martin, Jaguar, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Peugeot, Porsche and Toyota. - Highly detailed year-by-year coverage of the decade''s ten races, giving over 30 pages of information and photographs for each year. - Official status provides a number of unique features, including the reproduction of the full-color race poster artwork for each year and photographs from the ACO''s archives. - The images include rare colour, and the emphasis is on photographs that enthusiasts will not have seen before. - The story of each race is told through photographs and an accompanying commentary. - Complete data for each year includes technical regulations, entry list, circuit changes (with diagram), lap chart, full results and category awards. - The whole work is beautifully designed and presented. - Already established as a world-class event, the ACO''s annual race scaled new heights during the 1980s, a time of spectacular transformation in top-flight sports car racing.
