This first volume in Evro’s acclaimed decade-by-decade series covers the seven races of the 1920s, plus, as a prologue, all the events held at the Le Mans circuit during the period 1906–23. The 1920s saw a fascinating variety of machinery from 55 marques, three of which won: Bentley (1924 and 1927/28/29), Chenard-Walcker (1923) and Lorraine-Dietrich (1925/26). Above all this was the era of Bentley and the famous ‘Bentley Boys’.

• 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 are entirely in 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.
