Since EA Sports has covered the racing market with games based on licences from Formula One and NASCAR, it is only natural that French publisher Infogrames would gobble up the rights to a game based on Le Mans. Typical of such racing games, Le Mans 24 Hours includes official tracks--six to be exact--and, in addition to championship mode, players can test their grit in an all-day and all-night marathon known as the Le Mans 24 Hours. During this marathon race, players negotiate Le Mans at night, then deal with blinding early morning glare, all the while making several pit stops to repair damage while avoiding running on empty. Le
