 | It takes something special to drive more than 3,000 miles in a single day as quickly as possible. But since 1923, that's exactly what teams have done at France's annual 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. It's the oldest still-active auto competition of its kind. When it kicks off this weekend, 60 teams of three drivers will cover nearly 3,300 miles. |  The race format is simple: Drive a car for 24 hours and complete as many laps as possible. |
 | The Circuit de la Sarthe is a combination of permanent track connected to public streets. It is 8.5 miles long. The 2015 winners went around it 395 times. The Porsche's average speed was 140 miles per hour. |  |
 | Over the past 20 years, 18 German-manufactured cars have won. The country's domination began in the mid-1970s. Before that, victories were largely celebrated by French, Italian and British automakers. However, there was a brief period in the 1960s when Ford was the car to beat. Starting in 1966 Ford won Le Mans four years in a row. 50 years since that first historic victory, Ford is making its triumphant return to Le Mans. One of its cars even qualified for the pole position — in its class. It's Porsche that has the overall No.1 car at the start. |  |
