But this all occurred on June 11th, 1955.

We should probably tell you a little bit about Le Mans as a race because it is different than, you know, if you're just sort of a casual race person.

You're like, yeah, they just drive around a track a certain amount of times, and then somebody wins once you've completed the 200 laps.

Yeah, they just turn left a lot.

Yeah.

That is not what happens at Le Mans.

I think they're going to hold the 94th one this June.

It is an endurance race where you drive along with two racing partners.

There's three drivers, and they take turns.

But you drive for 24 hours, and whoever completes the most laps in that 24 hours is the winner.

Yes.

And the in Le Mans in particular, the track is called the Circuit de la Sarthe.

And it's a D shape about eight and a half miles or 13.7 kilometers around.

And it's not only made of racetrack, but they also incorporate some actual public roads that get shut down for the race.

It's made of racetrack.

It's made of racetrack and public roads.

I know.

I just I think that's fascinating.

Oh, it is.

There's other races like this.
