I was fortunate enough to attend the 84th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016 – a marathon endurance race for prototype and GT cars run once a year at Circuit de la Sarthe in France.
A long-held childhood dream of mine was to stay up for the full duration of the race; after visiting for the first time in 1993 as a 6-year-old, where I was blown away by the electricity and excitement of a full-blooded race through the night, I was finally able to realise this ambition, 23 years later. This is what I saw.
