Marc Ouayoun: “Brands with a strong reputation all have a written history in motorsport”

Thank you for the offer to experience the Pilots Parade from the inside!

It’s an opportunity to get to know each other between enthusiasts.

So, tell us about yourself! When did the automobile enter your life?

Very young ! Although I did not come from a car-loving family, from the age of 11/12, like many boys of my generation, I began to be interested in cars. The trigger was a magazine that my father brought me back from a trip, a special issue of L'Automobile Magazine on all cars in the world. There Ferrari Testarossa was on the cover, which must take us back to the early 1980s, I would say 1984. I looked through this magazine up and down, learned all the models, looked at what was happening around the world... Already , I was interested in what was happening on the Paris-Dakar side, 24 Hours of Le Mans, etc The Porsche 956 are the first racing cars that made an impression on me. It happened like this, with a real fascination for the Porsche brand at the beginning. My father being Franco-German, I was immersed in a German-speaking culture. Lines, engineering, etc., I had a particular attraction for German cars, the 911 Turbo and especially the 959 which was for me a very striking car that I found absolutely incredible. I remember the day the 959 concept was presented at the Auto Show in its pearly white color, with its ultramodern lines synonym
