This version of the game was originally planned to be a port from the PlayStation, but was eventually developed from scratch by Australian company Melbourne House which had recently been purchased by Infogrames. In the following year the same software house released Le Mans 24 Hours on the Dreamcast. In the US the game was released under the name Test Drive: Le Mans. The game was developed by UK company Eutechnyx. Two years later, the French video game publisher Infogrames, who incidentally absorbed Ocean, released Le Mans 24 Hours for PlayStation and PC.
As a Japanese publisher, the game marked a debut for the 1991 winner, the Mazda 787B, before appearing in subsequent driving games including the later Gran Turismo series, the 1971 JWA Gulf Porsche 917K appears as a bonus car. Over ten years later, in 1997, Sega released the arcade exclusive Le Mans 24. The advertising in both sides of the road is also limited to the name of the game and its creators. Due to the limitations of the hardware, all cars have the same design and do not correspond to actual models.
