As June approaches, car enthusiasts have been frequently reminded that there will be American entries in the world-famous 24-hour race at Le Mans, France, to be held June 10-11. This year, there will be two Cadillac-powered racers in the top class trying to pull off a win. A couple of NASCAR machines are also set to appear, and Chevrolet’s Corvette is always a contender.
It’s been 100 years since the start of this endurance race, and for the first five years, entries were exclusively from European car manufacturers, each wanting to prove how well its car was built.
