The 1927 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 5th Grand Prix of Endurance, was a motor race which took place at the Circuit de la Sarthe on 18 and 19 June 1927.The race was one of the most remarkable and dramatic pre-war Le Mans races. It is commonly remembered due to the infamous White House crash, a major accident that involved eight cars including all three of the widely tipped Bentley team's entries, and caused the retirement of two of them. The race was eventually won by the third which, although badly damaged, was able to be repaired by drivers Dudley Benjafield and Sammy Davis. It was Bentley's second victory in the endurance classic.

  • The 1927 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 5th Grand Prix of Endurance, was a motor race which took place at the Circuit de la Sarthe on 18 and 19 June 1927.The race was one of the most remarkable and dramatic pre-war Le Mans races. It is commonly remembered due to the infamous White House crash, a major accident that involved eight cars including all three of the widely tipped Bentley team's entries, and caused the retirement of two of them. The race was eventually won by the third which, although badly damaged, was able to be repaired by drivers Dudley Benjafield and Sammy Davis. It was Bentley's second victory in the endurance classic. In a race missing many major manufacturers, the three Bentleys had been comfortably leading from the start, putting a lap on the rest on the field. The accident occurred about 9.40pm, as night was falling and a drizzle had started. A 2-litre Th. Schneider had spun at the White House curves blocking the road when the lead Bentley, unsighted, hit it at speed. Davis was able to extricate his damaged car and get back to the pits, resuming the race after a half-hour repair. The French Ariès of Jean Chassagne and Robert Laly, the only other large-engined car in the race, had meanwhile taken the lead. They held it through a very wet night and into the Sunday, until stopped with less than two hours to go by a broken distributor. Davis and Benjafield had pushed their mishandling car hard all the way to take a lauded victory, in the end by a considerable 20-lap margin. (en)

  • Les 24 Heures du Mans 1927 sont la 5e édition de l'épreuve et se déroulent les 18 et 19 juin 1927 sur le circuit de la Sarthe. Alors que 41 automobiles avaient pris le départ l'année passée, seules 22 prendront le départ. La course, qui se déroule sous un ciel pluvieux, sera longtemps menée par deux pilotes français sur une Ariès 3 litres avant de se résigner à abandonner en raison d'un accident. L'équipe britannique Bentley Motors Ltd. est, elle, également victime du sort puisque les trois automobiles engagées — deux 3 Litre et une 4½ Litre — connaissent toutes un accident ; seule la 3 Litre no 3 dénommée « Old Number Seven », réparée en urgence, repartira. Finalement, la Bentley 3-Litre no 3 s'impose aisément, puisque 349,808 km la séparent de la deuxième, avec à son volant les pilotes anglais Dudley Benjafield et Sammy Davis ; Bentley Motors Ltd. remporte ainsi sa deuxième victoire aux 24 Heures du Mans. Une semaine plus tard la voiture est telle quelle hissée à mains d'hommes par l'escalier d'honneur du Savoy Hôtel de Londres jusqu'au premier étage du bâtiment, où se déroule un banquet en l'honneur des vainqueurs.
