Author Biography
Le Mans has been part of John Brooks's DNA since his youth. Becoming hooked in the days of the Porsche 917 and Steve McQueen, he attended his first Le Mans 24 Hours in 1978, on a Page & Moy tour by train and coach. He worked at the race as an accredited photographer from 1984 to 2019, over time using his extensive knowledge of the event -- and his wide network of Le Mans contacts and associates -- to write about it as well as take photographs. His work on both Le Mans itself and sports-car and GT racing in general has been published in numerous magazines and books, and on many websites, but this book is the first to appear under his own name, as sole author and photographer.
