Jean Rondeau: David versus GoliathIn the memory of all Le Mans aficionados, Jean Rondeau remains "the local boy." The only one to have won the "24 Hours" at the wheel of a car bearing his name, built in Le Mans by his own team; against an armada of major manufacturers. Like David versus Goliath. The saga of the Inaltera, then of the Automobiles Jean Rondeau, is today considered an ancient and mythical epic, which no racing man can reasonably hope to reproduce. Yet, beyond the myth of the technical and sporting feat, this story breathes romance, ambition, determination, betrayal, love, and death. All the ingredients of ancient tragedy are there: the quest for glory, triumph, fall, and death. Except that here, it is in "real life," which makes this tale much more than a simple story of motor racing! By collecting memories, documents and testimonies, the authors take us back to the 1970s, which were a time when ambitious people and dreamers were happy. Available in all bookstore networks.
