| The 1939 24 Hours of Le Mans was the 16th Grand Prix of Endurance, and took place on June 17 and 18, 1939. This gorgeous little Simca Gordini Type 8 took both the 14th Rudge-Whitworth Biennial Cup and won the Index of Performance coming 10th overall in 1939. The following year's 24 Hours of Le Mans was originally planned for June 1940, but due to the invasion of France in May the race was called off. Racing would not return to Le Mans until 1949, long after the war had ended. In 1949 the Gordini was raced again at Le mans (race No.50) but due to clutch problems was a DNF on the 89th lap. 1949 was also the first year the Bentley 'Embiricos' competed at the event.
