Endurance racing has provided some of the best and most remarkable driving performances of all time.
As Autosport celebrates its 70th birthday by looking at the greatest drivers, cars and events in motorsport history, we've picked out the top performances by sportscar racing's true aces.
Here is our selection, put together with the help of some of the drivers involved.
Kevin Turner has been the editor of Autosport magazine since 2016, having previously been the editor of sister publication Motorsport News. He joined the magazine in '06 after writing club race reports as a freelancer while studying history at the University of York. He has also covered international events for both the magazine and the website, including the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Kevin covered the British Touring Car Championship from 2011 to '14 and has a keen interest in the historic racing scene. He lives in Fleet with his wife and two children.
Gary Watkins has, for reasons best known to himself, devoted all his working life to covering sportscar racing. This season is his 29th as a motorsport journalist, during which time he has reported on major long-distance events on four continents and approaching 70 24-hour races. He reckons a degree in political philosophy makes him well qualified for covering the sometimes Machiavellian world of international sportscars.
Gary, who also writes for Autoweek, Motor Sport, Autocourse, RACER and others, lives in Surbiton but spends more time on the road than at home for most of the year.
