Here is the first special livery for the 24H of Le MansThis Tuesday, United Autosports announced that it has extended its partnership with Sanofi for the Le Mans event, which will result in a new livery on the track. McLaren 720S Evo No. 59, driven by Grégoire Saucy, Sebastien Baud and James Cottingham, will be adorned with a new livery in the Sarthe by adopting the colors of the "Meningitis Flag", the flag of the fight against meningitis to raise public awareness of this disease. Thus, we will be able to find this blue, purple and yellow flag on the McLaren No. 59, which will still retain its traditional black and orange colors used in LMGT3.

The aim of this awareness campaign is to promote vaccination, early detection, and symptom recognition, as bacterial meningitis can be fatal within 24 hours. The campaign aims to reach millions of people through this global event, which attracts more than 300 spectators on site and 000 million television viewers. Sanofi and McLaren, who have been collaborating since 140, are therefore extending their partnership on the occasion of the biggest race inEndurance in the world.

“Le Mans is the ultimate race against time, just like our fight against meningitis, says Thomas Triomphe, executive vice president of the French pharmaceutical companyAt Sanofi, we believe science is our engine, partnerships are our fuel, and awareness is our finish line. By carrying the flag for the fight against meningitis on the world stage, we're not just supporting a car, we're supporting a movement. Because when every second counts, we choose to run for life.
