The sources in the article are either unreliable (arcade history, aurcade) or are merely entries in a database (arcade museum). I was unable to find any other reliable sources offering significant coverage of this game. Delete per WP:GNG. I am also nominating the following article for deletion for the same reason:

 * Merge and Redirect to Le Mans 24 Hours video games. As a largely forgotten 1976 arcade game released before any video gaming magazines were published, finding sufficient WP:RS to satisfy WP:GNG may be a real challenge and thus it seems difficult to justify its existence as a standalone article.  I did discover a couple passing mentions which note that it was one of Atari's earliest releases (see here and here).  More importantly, it may have received a mention in the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition.  Unfortunately it is only available on snippet view on Google Books, but I was able to retrieve the fragmentary sentence from Google's scan of the 2009 edition, "and 1976's Le Mans, the first game to offer multiple ..."  It could be a useful source if someone can access the work.  (P.S.  For anyone using Google to hunt for additional sources, the game was more commonly known as "Le Mans" than the article title's "LeMans".) --Mike Agricola (talk) 00:34, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
