You're right for the 24 hours, but before, Le Mans was a race place since 1906 ! (on different road tracks)
The first American victory in Europe was at Le Mans in 1921: Jimmy Murphy and this Duesenberg in the "Grand Prix de l'A.C.F." ! 
(on the same track where the 24hrs will be organized two years later...) |
