24H LE MANS 1923 - Start - LM24H19230001

The 1923 24 Hours of Le Mans was the inaugural Grand Prix of Endurance, and took place on 26 and 27 May 1923. A strong field of twenty manufacturers entered, all from France aside from a single Bentley from Great Britain and a pair of Excelsiors from Belgium. In a rain-soaked race it was the Chenard-Walcker team and the Bentley that set the pace: in the end the Chenard-Walckers of Rene Leonard - Andre Lagache and Christian Dauvergne - Raoul Bachmann had a comfortable 1–2 win.
