Selected for their historical value and degree of originality, they compete in seven series spanning the periods from the 1930s to the 1970s. Drivers from more than 21 countries took part in the 2018 edition.
The new chronograph was designed especially for the occasion and features the signature red-and-white colour code that is reminiscent of striking sports cars from the world of motor racing.
