No one expected the little Sunbeam to become a contender for Le Mans’ most coveted prize .
Sabotage at Le Mans
The 24 Hours of Le Mans is more than a race, it’s the ultimate test of speed, endurance, and engineering. In 1961, the world’s greatest manufacturers arrived in France determined to prove they had built the fastest sports cars on Earth.
Gavin Ford is only nineteen. A mechanic with the Rootes Group Competition Department, he expects nothing more than a week supporting the his team’s unlikely challenger, a modest Sunbeam Harrington Alpine few believe has any chance of success.
But when a series of suspicious incidents begins to threaten the race, Gavin discovers that someone is willing to destroy more than a car to ensure the outcome. Suddenly, surviving twenty-four hours on the Circuit de la Sarthe may be the least of his problems.
Blending real motorsport history with adventure, mystery, and unforgettable characters, Sabotage at Le Mans launches the Gavin Ford Adventures, a series celebrating the golden age of endurance racing, classic British sports cars, and the people who refused to quit.
