Alain Figaret celebrates the 80th edition of the 24 hours of Le Mans
To further the brand’s involvement in the automobile world, Alain Figaret created the official collection for the eightieth edition of the most famous endurance race in the world, the
24 hours of Le Mans. To celebrate this birthday, Alain Figaret drew inspiration from the 1969 edition of the race in which the Belgian driver Jacky Ickx decided to walk from the departure line to his car in protest of the dangerous tradition.
This year, the Audi stable finished the race in first place for the eleventh successive year in only fourteen years with the Audi R18 e-tron, a hybrid and diesel car. We would like to congratulate Benoît Tréluvier, André Lotterer and Marcel Fässler for their performance.
