He will turn the heads of the teams during the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2023 (Sarthe, June 10-11): the Centenary Trophy was unveiled this Saturday, August 20 as part of the famous Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in California.
To mark the spirits of this Centenary edition, the trophy was produced thanks to a collaboration between the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) and the Money of Paris. This trophy will be unique, that is to say it will not be put into play at the 24 2024 Hours of Le Mans.
The Centenary Trophy is imposing: it reaches 1,50 m in height and is made entirely of bronze. Before being presented to the winners on the podium in June 2023, the cup will tour the world and be exhibited at various events. The French public will be able to admire it on the sidelines of the Chantilly Arts & Élégance Richard Mille from September 24 to 25 as well as at the Rétromobile show in Paris from February 1 to 5, 2023:
Finally, on the occasion of Monterey Car Week, another major announcement came. The 24 Hours of Le Mans will host an exceptional auction. Carried out in partnership with RM Sotheby's, a historic house, this event will bring together unique vehicles. First confirmed car: a Lancia LC2 (chassis 0005), which competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1984 and 1985.
