But it was the Welter Peugeot that achieved the speed during the race while the Sauber Mercedes did during qualifying. So officially the speed record goes to Roger Dorchy (driver) and the Welter Racing WM-Peugeot. The Welter car was a very tiny car for reduced drag, it was not only very difficult to drive, but also the air intakes were partially taped over to improve aerodynamics and was retired early into the race with overheating problems. The Sauber Mercedes instead was a proper racecar competing for overall victory, but as it was turbocharged the drivers could increase the power output of the engine in qualifying to maximize speed. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/178.202.141.61" title="Special:Contributions/178.202.141.61">178.202.141.61</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:178.202.141.61&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:178.202.141.61 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:24_Hours_of_Le_Mans#c-178.202.141.61-2013-01-10T23:34:00.000Z-Aerodynamics_and_maximum_speed_on_Mulsanne" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:34, 10 January 2013 (UTC)</a></span><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-178.202.141.61-2013-01-10T23:34:00.000Z-Aerodynamics_and_maximum_speed_on_Mulsanne"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-178.202.141.61-2013-01-10T23:34:00.000Z-Aerodynamics_and_maximum_speed_on_Mulsanne"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Flanker235-2016-01-25T04:28:00.000Z-178.202.141.61-2013-01-10T23:34:00.000Z"></span>According to the official ACO speed trap figures, published after the 1989 race, the C9 reached a maximum speed of 400 km/h in qualifying and 386 in the race. This was the last time the Mulsanne Straight was used in uninterrupted form. From 1990 onwards, two chicanes have been used. The ACO speed trap is the only one in use and all figures which come from it are the official ones. It has been operating and recording statistics since 1961. The ACO, which operates it, is also the managing authority of the 24 hour race. There are no "unofficial" speed traps so due discretion is encouraged when dealing with "claims from other sources". The Peugeot WM88 reached an official 405 km/h in 1988.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a

This is why you'll often see broken cars sitting in their garage with the door open for hours, only to limp around pathetically on the last few laps. It's not like NASCAR or FIA go-karts. Since Nürenburg stopped running sportscars, it's arguably (paris-dakar rally) the toughest race in the world and simply finishing it is a worthy acheivement.</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>For those at the top, the actual results are determined by distance, not being 1st or the number of laps. It doesn't normally matter, but there was an example in the 1960s where one car won, despite being just behind another because it started the race 24hrs before near the back of the field. I believe it was ruled as having travelled 20m further. I'm not going to bother finding a reference or amend this, as everything I've contributed to this article has been deleted.

Still not a contradiction. The number of laps is about classification, not victory. Which is to say, the winner through 5th place, say, may complete the same number of laps, but the leader will have covered more distance when the flag drops (because he's in front, obviously). This does require a basic understanding of how endurance racing is timed & scored, of course, which evidently you're having trouble with.</dd> <dd>♠"Do try to keep up."

Its subcategories (especially the ones of races in the 20th century) contain many files showing objects that don't match with the (Le Mans race) categories they are categorized in. For example the files are showing Le Mans racecars which are not racing in the specific Le Mans races (maybe racing in another race, for exampe this <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bandini-1_1965_1000-km-Rennen_N%C3%BCrburgring_-_Foto_Spurzem.jpg" class="extiw" title="commons:File:Bandini-1 1965 1000-km-Rennen Nürburgring - Foto Spurzem.jpg">Ferrari Dino 166P that is racing at 1000 km Nürburgring</a>), but due to the categorization it appears as if they do so. This categorization system is causing following problems: </p> <ul><li>To be consequent you would have to add files of racecars to categories of all races in that these cars have ever participated (Why only 24 Hours of Le Mans?). Then the number of categories in that one file is categorized in would dramatically increase.</li> <li>Categories of specific races lose their sense if files are included that have no relation to the topic of the category. So you will not know which files <i>really</i> show scenes of the specific race.</li></ul> <p>In addition you will also find files showing objects that lack any relation to 24 Hours of Le Mans races. For example they are showing cars that look somehow similar to cars that have participated in the specific Le Mans races, but they have obviously never done it themselves (for exampe this <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Renault_4CV.jpg" class="extiw" title="commons:File:Renault 4CV.jpg">Renault 4CV</a>). </p><p>In my opinion <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:24_Hours_of_Le_Mans_by_year" class="extiw" title="commons:Category:24 Hours of Le Mans by year">Commons:Category:24 Hours of Le Mans by year</a> would be more scientific and make searches for files easier if they contain only files that match with the topics of these categories.

I think there may be a tendency for some to see the French title '24 heures du Mans' and unconsciously read it as '24 hours of Le Mans'. Checking the facts shows up the error. Excluding dead links, all except one of the references to the article which refer directly to the race, use 'Le Mans 24 Hours' (with or without a final 's') in preference to the current title of this article. References 1,4,6,12,15,16,17,18 have 'Le Mans 24 Hour(s)'. Reference 20 has 'the 24hr Le Mans race'. Reference 7 (referenced 5 times) Uses both forms of the name with 'Le Mans 24 Hours' the most common by a ratio of 2 to 1. The English language version of the ACO official site <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://www.lemans.org/en/">http://www.lemans.org/en/</a> has 'LE MANS 24 HOURS' in pole position on the first of the four rotating banners at the top of the page. It is demonstrably true that 'Le Mans 24 Hours' is both the official usage and the overwhelmingly common name in English. So let's adhere to the principles of Wikipedia - that verifiable facts overrule personal opinions and fallible memories. <a href="/wiki/User:Petecarney" title="User:Petecarney">Petecarney</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Petecarney" title="User talk:Petecarney">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:24_Hours_of_Le_Mans#c-Petecarney-2013-08-06T13:03:00.000Z-Requested_move_to_'Le_Mans_24_Hours'" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:03, 6 August 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Petecarney-2013-08-06T13:03:00.000Z-Requested_move_to_'Le_Mans_24_Hours'"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Petecarney-2013-08-06T13:03:00.000Z-Requested_move_to_'Le_Mans_24_Hours'"></span> </p> <ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Lukeno94-2013-08-06T14:40:00.000Z-Petecarney-2013-08-06T13:03:00.000Z"></span>Your COMMONNAME fact is flawed. That's been pointed out to you by a few people. In a quick Google search now, there's just 3 million GHITS between the two; way below the threshold of where COMMONNAME is coming into play. The very page you link to there, lemans.org/en, has "24 Hours of Le Mans" in the title of the page. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://twitter.com/24hoursoflemans">The official Twitter feed</a> says 24 Hours of Le Mans. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.fiawec.com/en/news/car-no26-excluded-from-the-24-hours-of-le-mans_1247.html">The FIA</a> use both terms. What is actually happening is very simple; the two terms are interchangeable. However, 24 Hours of Le Mans has been a long-standing, previously uncontroversial name, and as there is no convincing evidence that COMMONNAME supports one or the other, then we shouldn't be moving the page. Particularly as "Le Mans 24 Hours" is an incorrect translation of the French. It's also standard procedure to use X Hours of Trackname, so we'd create inconsistencies there as well. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Lukeno94&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Lukeno94 (page does not exist)"><span style="color:navy;">Luke</span><span style="color:FireBrick;">no</span><span style="color:green;">94</span></a> <a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Lukeno94&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:Lukeno94 (page does not exist)"><i>(tell Luke off here)</i></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:24_Hours_of_Le_Mans#c-Lukeno94-2013-08-06T14:40:00.000Z-Petecarney-2013-08-06T13:03:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:40, 6 August 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Lukeno94-2013-08-06T14:40:00.000Z-Petecarney-2013-08-06T13:03:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Lukeno94-2013-08-06T14:40:00.000Z-Petecarney-2013-08-06T13:03:00.000Z"></span></li></ul> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-The359-2013-08-06T19:05:00.000Z-Lukeno94-2013-08-06T14:40:00.000Z"></span>First, I see no evidence of this "five times" figure. You specifically linked to Google Fight, which does not show the facts you claim. Even without using the Google Fight nonsense, I entered the terms myself into Google and was returned 5.4 million results for "Le Mans 24 Hour" and 2.2 million results for "24 Hours of Le Mans". I'd also point out that the results may be skewed due to the fact that there are actually several races held at Le Mans for 24 Hours (motorcycles, truck racing, karting, etc.) Further, now you want to discuss the "official name" while going on about "common name".

Or occasionally as "the 90th anniversary of the inaugural 24 Hours of Le Mans". Far less frequently in conversation it was mentioned as "the 24 Hour", "the Le Mans 24 Hour race" and other such variations. But with all the formal titles, graphics and stingers for the event on SpeedTV, and the official event website, referring to it as the "24 Hours of Le Mans", this article should stick with that name. We have an official and widely used way to title the event, and a second, also common way to refer to it.
