Next weekend we will see the 83rd edition of 24 HEURES DU MANS. These are four major Swiss Watchmakers teaming up with a renown carmaker/racing team and Rolex serving as the timekeeper …
More than 250.000 motorsports spectators will come to Le Mans next weekend to attend the 83rd edition of the legendary 24 HEURES DU MANS. At its inception in 1923, the 24 HEURES DU MANS (24 Hours of Le Mans) was called “Grand Prix of Speed and Endurance” with cars on the track that had to retain part of their original off-track equipment.
Over the years, the cars evolved into prototypes and road GTs modified for competition, but the purpose remained the same: to win the race in La Sarthe.
Today, it is not just about combining performance and durability for 24 hours, but also about taking into account the development of new technologies (hybrid for example) linked to today’s environmental consciousness.
A sporting and technical challenge – To marry performance and durability over 24 hours of racing, or more than 4,500 kilometers.
History – The exceptionally rich heritage of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the two oldest circuit races in the world.
A human adventure – Stories of drivers, teams and marques for an always popular event.
A sharp and omnipotent organization – Whether it concerns welcoming the public and professionals (drivers, teams, journalists, VIPs), or regulation compliance, or hosting and the skills of the volunteers (officials, medical staff, track and pit marshals), all put their passion and their abilities at the service of the 24 Hours of Le Mans legend.
Watch the race if you wish …
It is evident, that several Swiss Watchmakers team up with international car makers and that Rolex acts as the timekeeper of the legendary race.
