Its coverage of car racing hints at the paper's ancestry by printing the words "L'Auto" at the head of the page in the gothic print used in the main title of the prewar paper. "L'Équipe" is published in broadsheet format. In 1968 "L'Équipe" was bought by Émilien Amaury, founder of the Amaury publishing empire. Among "L'Équipe"'s most respected writers have been Pierre Chany, Antoine Blondin and Gabriel Hanot. The death of Émilien Amaury in 1977 led to a six-year legal battle over inheritance between his son and daughter. This was eventually settled amicably with Philippe Amaury owning the dailies while his sister owned magazines such as "Marie-France" and "Point de Vue". Philippe then founded "Éditions Philippe Amaury" ("EPA"), which included "L'Équipe", "Le Parisien" and "Aujourd'hui". At Philippe's death in 2006, the group passed to his widow, Marie-Odile, and their children. The biggest-selling issue was 13 July 1998, the day after the France national football team won the World Cup. It sold 1,645,907 copies. The second best was on 3 July 2000 after France won the European Football Championship and the paper sold 1,255,633 copies.
