That is LeMons, the 24 hour race of $500 beaters, not Le Mans, the 24 hour race of zillion dollar cars held in France. view from the porch posts a link to the original Car & Driver report on the race.

FedEx ships cars? Yes they do:
Uh-oh. The race was little more than a week off, and having endured an exhausting battery of cognacs and terrines of fois gras in Northwest's business class on my return from Paris, I was in no mood to haul the Aurora across the country. Enter FedEx Custom Critical Passport Auto Transport, a branch of the big delivery company that ships cars coast to coast. Since fabulously expensive cars that compete at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Élégance have been shipped by FedEx, we felt comfortable handing over the keys to our Aurora. Plus, in return for this paltry plug, they ate the bill. After dripping oil in FedEx's pristine transporter for five days, the car arrived with two days to spare.
