Despite a script that could hold in one page and dialogues of only a few lines, Le Mans will remain forever as one of the best films - if not the best - ever devoted to motorsport.
It is more a report than a real film, the script being there only to serve as a pretext.
In a sense, it is closer to real cinema than the average Hollywood movie, in that it tells a story, albeit simple, based primarily on images.
For the fans anyway, Steve McQueen’s "Le Mans" became lately, after it was released on DVD, a cult classic, especially since it was shot during one of the most legendary races, the 24 hours of Le Mans, in its most epic era, that of the fight between the iconic Porsche 917 cars and their rivals the Ferrari 512s.

Le Mans & Steve McQueen books:
The following two books are actually comic books. It's simply Le Mans movie adapted into a graphic novel. The original script is a bit rearranged to fit better a graphic novel.
Originally made in french, it is also available in english and other languages.
In my opinion, I think that among motorsports comics, those are the best ever made. At least from visual and technical quality point of view.
