For 25 years...

There have been two teams...

Fighting for championship on all circuits in the world:

the "Vaillants" and...

"the leader"

the leader, No.13!

Michel Vaillant...

It's a incredible fight!

70th Le Mans 24 hours race

Michel Vaillant attacks!

Collision!

Another fierce collision between the two cars!

Michel Vaillant is dead!

Michel!

Michel is in the flames!

What happened, dear Calm down, it will be alright!

Michel is healthy and well. Don't worry!

Just like the real thing...

Every time you have unpleasant dream, actually nothing happened

Hum...

Take it easy

Excuse me

Hello, Mom

Listen to me, firstly, I won't attend Le Mans this year the car isn't ready

Secondly, "The leader" has been racing for 5 years

Mom, there is no No. "13" in Le Mans and never would be

He has been standing for a hour, how come he is not frozen?

Michel seldom freeze,

Michel seldom smoke, Michel seldom drink Michel seldom sleep.

No mom, I'm not angry, I love you,

See you later

Last year, in "Dakar"

It's 155 Fahrenheit

He has been sitting in the car for 3 hours

while I talk to some guy on the "Camel"

There he goes!

I'll go get him, I can't believe we've stayed here for several hours!

All right!

So what did chief said?

The sea wind went strong for 2 monthes

So? We're not go sailing, are we?

Strike by sea wave

And?

Instead of having fresh water ice We got salt water ice.

What's the diffenernt? We can not eat of it.

Salt water ice breaks up stiff!

50 right! Jet! Left!

200 turn!

Attention! backwater bend!

Attention!

50 long right!

backwater bend! 150

Right!

Left, turn!

Right! 300!

Right?

Beeline! Crossed!

Hurry up!

Now?

That's it!

Who is behind us?

It's Michel

What are you doing behind us?

Because they made a ride on the froze lake

And salty ice is really bad!

What about you? Why do you dawdle?

That bastard, Cramer! He is in front of us!

He is blocking us!

Let's have fun!

"Jet"

May I?

Oh, yes, sir!

What shall we do next?

Control, 1000!

My right hand side!

left hand side!

Yes, sir!

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

Let's go! Giulio!

You first!

Bastards!

You bastards!

Sorry, we don't understand french

Sir, clean window for you?

Steve, can you open the window, I feel sick

How can you be sick on 2 miles an hour.

Your speed is alright But your perfume. Haha!

Very clever! I really do not stink then Who said gas smell bad?

Go early, arrive early! That will solve the problem

Keep cool, man!

What's the point to get there too early? Let them wait till the last second

That makes "class"

"Class" means getting there...

Son of the bitch!...

He's going to learn my name!

How we suppose to take on time!

Being late is the sign of "real class"?

"class"?

Is it good that you leave from garden city?

Mr. President! How about smile for me!

Natasha! Oh you shoot me!

You know why I shoot

Thank you! Enjoy yourself

I'm fine now

Your lumberjack goes to the same place we are

"50th RALLY VAN CANADA"

There they come!

Gabrielle?

Steve? It was you

I thought It was a student driver...

I hate "being late is question of 'class'"

See you later!

They are "The lumberjack" pretty prettier these days

This is not over!

Michel! Stern! I have reserved a table for you, but hurry up Otherwise someone else will get that!

Jos? Come on!

Let's take a photo!

No! I have a blood hackle at photographs!

"laugh"

I'm goona have the picture framed

And I hang him on in the hall of Drawer Jonquie.

Four against one! Cowards!

Let's go, or they will pinch our table

Come, David?

Be right there, sir

It's hard to knot

It resembles nowhere.

It's pretty awful. It's my wife does that.

I absolutely lose without her

Where is she?

The rally of South-africa. She is 4th in general.

Not bad!

Especially with a car that do not get ahead.

If she have a Vaillante she be the first!

Damn it! Have to play it again!

See you later!

I'll be right there!

May I help?

Let me see!

I am just like your wife, but not

Get out of my way!

Gabrielle Spangenberg!

Sandra Svanson

The 2nd place...

Stern Warson and Giulio Cavallo!

You are really sexy as you are scared!

You will pay heavily for it!

And then now... the winner of the 11th edition

of our rally for the 2nd successive year...

Michel Vaillant...

And his pilot David Dougherty!

Humble? How can I be any more humble?

I like my best friends winner's pure humility!

In fact, if you team up with me ...

You will see how humble I could be.

Are you a female wheel? What beloved!

I'd love to have you as my co-driver

Actual that's not quite how my imagined things

Oh really? How do you imagine?

You know you are beautiful!

Thank you

Good night

What if I except?

You are welcome

Let's go to your home. Night is just beginning

YOu know? I'm sorry

Good night

Oh, Jesus!

Oh? Are you ok!

It hurts!

I'm sorry!

Just I can't stand!

I'll take you to the hospital.

The hospital? No, I hate hospitals!

If I can go to your home and have a cup of whisky, maybe it will be fine, I don't know

It's all wet!

Jesus, why does always rain here

So do bags...

Everyone said: The winter is as warm as the summer in Drawer Jonquie's home, welcome

My eautiful Laura!

You just keeping on growing!

It's raining, I don't hear the car

Long time no see

It's wonderful to see you! Michel

Here I am, mom!

Here is the coffee for everyone

Thank you, madam

Michel, stop playing with your cousin Listen to me!

Thanks for your coming!

This is important for me For I have 2 things I want to share with you.

I have good news and...

I also have the great news!

The Good is that Peugeot called me today...

and their famous motor "Evolution 5" is ready and has been promised to us!

When shall we get them?

It should be in May, but he is operational against half June I.e....

for Le Mans!

The 70th Le Mans 24 hours race!

That's good news, what's the great news?

The great news is for David. You get a steering wheel for Italy,

If you perform well,

with Michel as a team for Le Mans

Henri, do you mind I give you a hug?

This is incredible!

Henri! I don't know what to say...

This is real the most wonderful day of my life!

I swear I didn't know about this, mom.

What's difference?

Look it is not really the first time that we are gonna take in Le Mans.

But it is well the first time that I dream so terribly

We are being well in Le Mans, but there still no "the leader" or a no. 13.

Mom, bless me!

For David, it's a big day

Julie, I wish you were there!

YOu will be so proud of me!

What? The weather?

It's grand!

And I am happiest man!

What if I take a photograph of them!

You were not even born, Natasha!

I know that? I can dream, can't I?

Le Mans in memory of 70th...

Let me introduce to you the latest car nations

have known for more than 20 years

"No.13" is the most expected team

And they have Le Mans selected for their large return.

I have it naturally over the team Of "the leader"!

Our team manager, brave Gentleman Cheek

Left us 5 years ago

Beauty queen Ruth Cheek

The daughter of the leader! She leads her team Malaca

Many of you know my father, how stubborn he was

Winning means everything for him.

Be ensured, I am my father's daughter!

Don't worry

Really worry about it!

Don't be afraid of your mom's nightmare

"The leader" must take part in Le Mans. How is that?

I hope that the young lady is more honest than her father is.

Calm down!

I'm quite calm!

Besides, I am seeking here nothing. I have things to do!

Dad, please!

And then now, as we do in every year, we will proceed to auctions

as the social works of Le Mans.

A. 4,000 Euros for the gloves of Alain Prost.

4,000, twice. Nobody? ...

4,000, third... Awarded to the young lady!

And then now a quite fine piece of the helmet of Juan Manuel Fangio

Five world champions winner.

An exceptional piece. first bid is at 5,000 Euros. 5,000 Euros?

5500

6000

6500

7000

7500

8000

And then we'll continue to pieces no. 43.

The famous Michel Vaillant

Le Mans is not begun yet And you're already losing.

Not a good sign, is it

Congratulations, Michel. I had never thought that your helmet of Fangio deserves the amount!

Because that's Fangioh

It was a good affair. Really great

Actually

It's your helmet?

Yes, that's what we call "unexpexted"

Who is she?

A "nightmare"

What are you doing totally in the dark?

So they are going to race, aren't they?

Where is No.13?

Henri

For 30 years

I have never talked about the affairs

But, just for this once, I beg of you:

Please don't go through with it!

It's impossible

Being a champion has nothing to do with the nightmare

Talking about dream

Our dream of Michel, Jean-Pierre and me ...

Is the winning in the 24 hour-race of Le Mans

I can't do that

David who used to be as fast as a rabit

Now becomes a tortoise

Straight down! 120!

100! Right!

Turn left! Turn right!

What's the matter?

I don't know

Do you want to stop?

No! Fixed a refuse in the gas!

Right! 80!

Turn! full gas!

Straight ahead! 320!

Coming!

Left! 80!

What's wrong? Why doesn't it run?

100! left!

Left! 380!

Bridge! 600! David, don't do like a idiot!

Override him!

Bridge! Override them!

Bridge! 150!

Stop! Danger!

Bridge!

Bridge!

Stop!

You are cought!

David!

Are you ok!

Damn! Can't go out!

Ok!

We're not gonna let Cramer take it!

Go, hurry up!

Tell Michel to "catch up with them"!

You are alright?

Good

That is Giulio!

Vehicle is damaged!

How about David?

He is intact

Michel!

Michel, stand aside!

Danger!

Stand aside!

David!

Stand aside!

I'm Michel

I know who you are

Thanks for your coming all these way

You mean a lot to david

Maybe he looks on you as family

He meant a lot to us, too

This is Jean-Pierre, my brother.

And Steve Warson.

Father has asked for appologise for not able to being here It's really a lot to him

I know

We want you to know, if there is anything you need

We will all be here with you

I've heard about Le Mans

That's his child dream...

time?

1 minute and 24 seconds

And is that good?

Good for the cars

What do you mean by that?

9 seconds slower than the job recorded. That is the same as 9 light-years.

You must try hard to win

Currently it's hard to win

Idiot!

Maybe it's because of the car

Listen! We have a contract...

Shut up!

Get out of here!

You could wait for me at office

I am too curious. I had to see the studio.

David has spoken about it a lot...

Come on

Is that Michel?

No, it's me

You were a driver?

Hundreds of years ago.

Don't you miss it?

My parents have 2 sons...

And I'm the one brakes more slowly than the other...

Is the application still in effect?

Of course, Julia? What can I do for you

I'd like to have my husband's place. I wanna drive for Le Mans!

Now only less than 24 hours remains

Look at this!

Who is that?

Julie Wood

Not bad at all!

She said she want to replace David in Le Mans!

Have you said yes to her?

I said no

I've already tested 2 persons who can replace David

Why shall we let her in?

Just want her to test

To see her ability is limited

How much?

55 seconds

55 seconds 9

The first result is not bad!

Come on!

How are you doing?

I pilot her around the track!

Michel here, are you ok?

Fine!

Since don't know the track very well. I've got to give me 2, 3 points?

I know that!

Follow me!

Big turn!

Left! right! tempo 5!

Tempo 6!

Big turn! Along the stone!

Accelerate at the exit!

Your turn!

No problem!

Left 160R!

Go in!

Do it yourself!

Yourself!

What's the guy doing?

What's up?

Because if we promise her, she will try her best anyway

Julia wants to race in memory of David that's not enough

"want to try" is really uncommon

Besides, the stopwatch will give you equal chance.

The job record is 51"1

Let us assume that they get it within 4 seconds then they really stand a chance to win!

I give wants her 3 seconds as they usually get.

Great! 3 second!

53"9!

That is less than 3 sec.

I see, please let me set up a team with Cavallo.

I understand

So?

It is not too good

But, you and your brother have an agreement on...

Look, no favors ok.

If I'm not good enough, just tell me!

Julie

Your results is less than 3 seconds

Really?

I'm sure This is for you

Welcome to the team Vaillants!

Thanks!

Well done!

Thank you!

Stop!

Drawer Jonquie?

Yes, all 3 generations live here

And around this house I rode my first car.

How old was you then?

6

Laura! Stop!

Stop! can't you hear!

Michel, do something! Don't just stand there!

Be right back!

Uncle Michel!

Quite good, Laura!

Really

You must look ahead when you drive the car

Stop!

Brake

You two!

Hum! Good! Turn left slowly

You brake softly

And stop at the gate.

But I can't reach the pedals

Ok, turn left slowly

At the gate, stop at the driveway

Brake slowly

Great!

Julie, This is Laura, the daughter of Jean-Pierre.

You are great, Laura.

Henri Vaillant, the grandfather of the child who commands me

Before learning to drive I want you to learn to obey!

I can drive already

Well! Then then only thing you need to learn is to obey!

The insurance company understands but don't know what causes the explosion

We have carry the wreck here to let Jos have a look

Jos, what do you think?

Proteus crystals.

Which let the vehicle lose control

Basically there is no danger if it's in the gasonline tank

Only when the vehicle runs in the match, the crystal reach the electric circuits

Then....Bang

So how does this crystal get in his gasoline tank?

I don't know

Who put it?

This id Gabrielle Steve, this is you

This is Giulio

He brakes at the 85 meters in the front

That imprint is the mark

If it's downwind, 85 meters is too short

So he go straight ahead

And where are you?

Here

You see the forest?

This time of the year there are many falling leaves and keep the air cool.

The temperature is thus lower here, the air is more density

So it's easy to brake

Zig and Zag?

So it does

Then what about other circuits?

It's from ancestors'...

wisdom

How is the currently tyre imprint?

Good

Le Mans will start tomorrow What do we need now?

Hamburgers! My treat

What do you say?

Great!

Let's go!

Go!

Taste like my hometown...

Turn right at the 6th crossing Straight 200 sign, then turn left

You've been in the curcuit for over one hundred times You should know it well

Entrance of the stadium. Sturdy right, in 2.

Brake softly, turn left

Rush

Yes! understand!

I know it by heart!

That means with the eyes closed.

It's impossible.

Why must you say that?

Where is he going?

Just follow him

Where to go?

Cover my eyes with your hands

Are you sure?

Just told me at the 100 signs

Ready?

Go

Sign!

Michel!

Sign!

Slow down! Sign!

Alright!

Sign!

Watch out! Sign!

Brake...Sign!

Sign!

Are you okay!

Goodbye

What's up?

Don't go to Le Mans

Sorry, dear

I hope my worry is wrong

I hope so

I hope you are safe

Damn!

No signal!

Welcome to the qualify run for the 70th anniversary of 24 hours of Le Mans

"The leader" returns to the match

It is indeed their first participation since...

...The passing on of Gentleman Cheek.

The leader carry the numbers 13 and 22.

We are expecting the their duel with the Vaillantes

I've just been told that the Vaillantes is not ready yet

Hopefully it goes well

But what happened? Where is the car?

Jos has not called me.

Why didn't they carry it yesterday?

Afraid of being breaking

That's Jos's judgement

Really strange!

The vehicle is sent 3 hours ago

Where is Jos's handphone?

It will be 2 hours 5 minutes later

If the vehicle is not around in one hour it is disqualified for the race!

We can get contact with them

Jos!

I can't hear! Speak louder!

Where are you?

What?

Where?

Where!

We got 18 minutes for 60 kilo!

No problem!

2 cars come together

Watch out! the circuit!

You have yet 15 minutes

They are coming

Coming?

Yes

If you let her in via the Porsche-curve Can they yet make a launched round

Please!

I can't imagine a Le Mans race without Vaillants

Give them a chance

Open the 8th gate!

They must run a round in allowed time!

Still no Vaillants's car!

15 minutes left or they are disqualitified

It's emergency, the helicopter will pay you

Does helicopter also need fuel?

I doubt it

56"!

55"!

54"!

Vaillants's car rushs into the circuit!

From gate 8!

Faster!

That's on time!

They are qualified!

Vaillants

Find another way

It's 10pm

It's the beginning of the night performance.

Time is 2 hours

Tyre...

That's alright

What happened this afternoon?

Photographer?

Yes, how is it?

Just take photos, don't ask question! Ok?

the American Steve Warson...

Want to replace Gabrielle Spangenberg

Changing driver for the No. 10 Vaillants!

Julie...

Now ��Laura�� 's Schneid...

Lead temporarily, 3 minutes 32 seconds 843,

It's yours?

Don't leave your dog running around

Seems at the time of changing tyre

It's possible that someone destructs

Where is the vehicle?

"The leader" doesn't show up yet

But Cramer wasn't there.

Where is the truck?

Attacked?

It's not my fault

That's it for tonight.

Good night, see you tomorrow

Seems I come at right time.

What's up?

I come to appologize for her

Really kind

She would do anything for me!

Do you know about me?

Who is for you?

Thank you!

I look on that as a compliment.

What can I do to make it up?

Michel!

The setting you mentioned...

Good evening, Mr. Vaillant!

Soory, I wanted to talk to you last night. I must falling asleep

Me too...

Excuse me

Calm down, Speak slowly

Disappeared?

Oh, no, mom...

He slept next to the door

He was tired...

He will call you as soon as he is awake

I love you, too, bye!

Is something wrong?

Where is my father?

Good morning!

Answer me in 10 seconds!

Threats?

Michel, you insult me!

I was here the whole night.

But if you don't believe me...

Now, to answer your question

Yes, I do know where your father is

He is very well

But if go to the police...

now...

He dies

You win Le Mans, he dies

You don't race, he dies

The only way you see your father live again is you race and lose

I want you to know what's humiliation

what's loss

Good morning, welcome to the 24 hours of Le Mans

Bravo at the early birds.

It will be quite a long day today

I'm really sorry, Michel

I relaxed...

and drank a cup or two, so...

Are you angry?

Last night, Ruth kidnap my father

You are her witness of not being there

She asked me to race and lose That's the deal...

I can't believe it?

I'm gonna have a word with this bitch!

Just forget about it! We are talking about my father's life!

Lose "The leader" in purpose, is it ok?

Don't do that!

We have no choice, catch the time!

Time to think

As soon as we have the solution We come in action!

You may count on me.

Michel

I want to say thank you

for David and for me as well

See you later

The green flag waved...

The cars startup then...

for a complete round in the order...

That they acquired during the qualified positions....

and then the 70th 24 hourse of Le Mans begins!

We are going to watch a fierce battle!

Vaillants doesn't attack

Seems there is a problem

That's...

Vaillants is overdriving?

No, not yet!

Keep eyes on the situations!

What's going on? We really try our best from the first rounds?

I wish I knew

Michel, is there any problem?

Everything is cool.

So what's up with the hero?

Take a photo of "the leader" also!

Okay. stand aside!

It's strange!

The 2 cars put on their seeds at the same moment

It's rare

It's rare that 2 cars put on their seeds at the same moment

What's happened?

I hit bricks on the track

Vaillants and Cramer...

Cooperate with each other

Change tyre!

Change tyre!

Vaillants is still in the seed

Change! Come on!

When would you change the tyre?

Move the tyre in it!

Cramer leaves the seed...

Oddly enough Michel Vaillant makes no use of this advantage.

We let him win seconds and he forfeits it

Wait for me outside!

Well then, Henri?

How do you like the show?

I know you love your son

Why do you do that?

For my father

I watch him suffer the whole life because of you

As a child, I suffered from seeing my father like that

Now Michel and you will precisely feel what we have felt for years

For your childhood, I'm sorry

But the truth is that your father is a cheater. He always a cheater.

And I think you are more despicable than he is

Don't be your father, just be be yourself!

Let me go home, I'll forget those unhappy things

Impossible!

Steve, waht's up?

Why do you stay behind "the leader"?

Are you afraid of speeding?

Of course not. Everything is okay. It is a long race.

That's ok

Michel, you owe me an explanation...

What's the earth going on there?

Everything ok?

So what do we do?

Send Julie to come here

What's up?

Don't ask anything!

I need you to do me a big favor

What does it mean?

I want you to take my place!

Take you place?

What for!

Take your place?

One hour is enough only Jean-Pierre knows.

Can I count on you, Julie?

Thank you!

"58 kilo"

a water castle Saint-Andreaskruis...

Good evening...

Nice to see you again

I caught him in your car.

Back into the seeds of ...

the leader of Bob Cramer!

What's happened there? He seems have hit something undoubtedly.

Someone helps him out from his car. His sight is piece.

He will undoubtedly let Boorman take his place

What are you doing here?

What's happened?

Accident, A Pigeon.

You must win...

"the leader"!

Michel...

Anyway, I have to tell you...

There is something happening

It has nothing to do with me

It's Cramer who put the crystal in the David's car...

He wa just slowing him down...

The accident...

Be careful

What are you doing?

Drivers change, and it is Cramer

Show up again!

Quick!

Ruth herself...

commands

Go now race and win!

Be a good child your father like!

Bye!

Michel of Vaillantes shows up again!

Julie, have a rest!

Slow down!

Vaillant!

Why are you here, mom?

I don't want stay at home alone, so I'm coming

Oh...

Where is your father?

Over there

He said he wants to listen to the sound of motor...

I accompany you

No, I just have a sit

Danger!

Don't worry, I can take care of myself!

Be back soon, ok?

Vaillants attacks!

Seems want to break away from Cramer

The two cars hit each other!

A furious fight

What happened?

What's up?

They hit again!

It loses control

But after an escapade on the grass, "the leader" succeeds finding its way back!

How come!

But Michel Vaillant is again in the attack of "the leader"!

Bill!

Mom!

A horrible collision! The Vaillante flies away!

Stand aside!

It's me, look, it's me!

It's me! Julie!

Yet no news about the health ...

of Bob Cramer and Michel Vaillant

a dreadful accident...

I know where my father is! Let's go!

Mom!

Michel!

I'm alright, don't worry!

Nor hurt

Where is my father?

I'm on the way getting him

Great!

Oh my children!

Ah, my children...

Gabrielle Spangenberg has already sit there for almost 4 hours

If no reasons...

no qualification for the race

Final! He is totally alone. The others are far behind.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Get on the car!

Are you ok?

Fine!

A bit sick

Let me see!

Shit!

Jaguar no. 30 goes faster and faster!

Half an hour left, Boorman, no. 22 of "The leader" takes the leaderhip

Be careful

Alright?

It goes well. Besides, we have no choice.

Let'go!

Slow down...

Noway!

Only 15 minutes left, can't stop!

Michel!

Second in the racers that is behind "the leader", ...

is the Vaillante no. 8

3 minutes difference

Your body-guard!

Hopefully you ring me with a good reason.

I believe you.

And it is racer no. 8, Steve Warson

The American must catch up with "the leader" for 3 minutes And 12 seconds

Warson improves...

Pulverizes the job record!

Leaky tyre for Steve Warson!

What happened?

Can you ride yet?

No oil!

Shit! Incredible!

"The leasers" is just one step away from the victory!

Slow down in the front of the terminal!

Stand aside!

Get off and push it!

Go away!

We must win anyway!

Cheer up!

Hurry!

I must win!

Warson wins !

The 70th 24 hours of Le Mans ends now!

Can go to the stage?

Oh yes. You let me do the most difficult work

But let me have a try

I have somewhat the impression that...

You take away the victory

In my place, you will do it, too

Of course!

So everything is cool!

How is your feeling?

Great! I think that I will come back!

Congratulations to you!

Would you help me to hold it, sweetheart? Oh really!

Ah
