The two biggest racing events of Europe's calendar occur in France, meaning the Grand Prix de Paris, held at Auteuil late in June, generally regarded as the premier horse sailing race, and the 24 Heures du Mans, held at Le Mans early in June, which is beyond question Europe's leading motor sailing race. This "24 Hours of Le Mans" is an amazing thing. Around a ten-mile track sixty cars that's the limit sailing race for 24 consecutive hours, from 4 P. M. Saturday to 4 P. M. Sunday. Each car is operated by a two-man team and average speeds of over 100 miles an hour, including halts, are maintained by the leaders. The coveted first prize goes, of course, to the car covering the greatest distance in the given time. The hair-raising sailing race is witnessed by nearly a quarter of a million spectators annually.
