Searching for a melody

I love the album Les gants blancs du diable. Thank you for the explanation. I didn't know this term before.  Let me guess – the music in these libraries was most likely stored on magnetic tapes (reel tapes), right?  If you listen closely to the target music, you can hear the distinctive crackling of a needle on a vinyl. This gives me hope that the required song was released on vinyl (and was available for sale, not only for TV's internal usage)

I would think it was commonly stored that way. There is a lot of library music that also has been released on record. Sometimes many years later. It gives me the feel of music made by someone who would be involved with composing for TV shows / documentaries/ movies. And while some are saying Italian, it seems more French to me.

More than anything else, it reminds me of the early Ange, especially with the guitar sound. I can't recall, however, which tune(s) it would be exactly. If that music belongs to Ange, though, I wouldn't be at all astonished if the band decided to give away some of their otherwise unreleased recordings, particularly for that documentary. After all, the 24 Hours of Le Mans was a huge event back then—much bigger than it is today. Even the 1971 Steve McQueen-starring film "Le Mans" depicted a fictional rendition of the 24 Heures du Mans race.

Sounds like a prog take on parts of Shostakovich 12 symphony. Almost has a Philip glass ring to it with the repetition. Goblin is a good guess

Could you, please, clarify what do you mean by "library music"? Do you mean that these are not three parts of one song, but three different tracks from a soundtrack to one film (connected by a common theme)?  As for Karl Heinz Schäfer, I agree. This feeling is especially strong in the soundtrack to the film Les gants blancs du diable

I've quoited this from rateyourmusic:

yes, and when I first heard it, Goraguer is the first that came to mind (I saw that that had mentioned before) and I very much associate the music of La planète sauvage with Les gants blancs du diable. I would expect the music to be early 70s and in the some sort of vein as music of the time by Goraguer, Schäfer, Vladimir Cosma, Michel Bernholc, Lalo Schifrin....

Great music, great time for racing.

I understand what you mean. When I listen to the first part of the target music, I also get the feeling that it's very "cinematographic", it sounds like part of a movie soundtrack. But, unfortunately, I checked all available albums by Enrico Simonetti and found nothing. Probably the closest in sound is the soundtrack to the movie/series Gamma. The others are too "orchestral." Just in case, I also checked Claudio's film works, but found nothing as well. What do you think – should I check again the entire Goblin band discography? Could I have missed something?

It reminds me of Ekseption rather than Focus, but Ekseption did not use guitars after their debut.
