When we were on the lovely Retro Rides Summer Holiday 2015, we took a trip out to the Le Mans circuit, drove down Mulsanne and around the bits of the track that are on public roads for the rest of the year. At the end of this trip we stopped into the museum at Le Mans. I didn't really know what to expect, I figured there would be some cars, some video and some history of the event. Turns out as with everything from my experience of Le Mans so far it exceeded my expectation.
Let us start at the beginning
The literal beginning of cars

The Le Mans museum you see gives you a whole history of cars, obviously with a focus on race cars that raced at Le Mans, but not limited to that. Take this pair for example
