24h Le Mans 89th staging - Official Yearbook - Beau Livre

Thibaut Villemant : He has been a car buff ever since he was a kid and attended his first 24 Hours of Le Mans aged five ! After studying at Nanterre University in the Parisian region, he joined Auto Hebdo in 2009. He became a leading reporter and assistant chief editor up until June 2021. During those years, Jean-Marc Teissedre took him under his wing and taught him all the tricks of the trade. In 2014, Jean-Marc asked him to join the editorial team of the official 24 Hours of Le Mans annual.
In 2021, Thibaut worked at Le Mans as a consultant for the L'Equipe TV channel. Jean-Marc Teissedre : Scale-models led the young teacher to discover his true 1 vocation and he became - one of the best - if not the best - endurance racing specia-lists. His new calling coincided - and it was no coincidence - with the launch of Auto Hebdo in 1916 ! He remained faithful to the magazine throughout his career and it made him into a major figure in the milieu.
However, his day job didn't prevent him from investing his talent and enthusiasm in all the major books dedicated to his speciality, including this annual since 1918 on which he's worked with the late Christian Moity, Alain Bienvenue and Thibaut Villemant. In addition to his rigour as a true professional he brings the meticulousness of a model maker, which he's always been, to his work, as he also created the monthly revue Auto Modelisme and only relinquished the role of its chief editor a short time ago.
