The 24 Hours of Le Mans is unquestionably the most highly anticipated fixture in the FIA World Endurance Championship season. In 2014, this legendary race will carry a distinctive flavour, since it sees the grand return of Porsche to this track that has brought the German team 16 victories, a still unmatched record. As Official Timing Partner Porsche Motorsport, Chopard is delighted to be associated with this major rendezvous that is already set to be a highlight of the 2014 season.
16 years after its 16th victory on the fabled track, Porsche will be making its grand comeback, with four cars competing: two Porsche 919 Hybrids in the LMP1 category; and two Porsche 911 RSRs in the GTE Pro category. Porsche Motorsport’s return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in this configuration also signals the German manufacturer’s ambitions. New cars, new teams, new drivers, a new factory: Porsche Motorsport has opted to make its comeback to the FIA World Endurance Championship this season in order to continue building the legend linked with its name.
The paths of Porsche and Chopard also meet in the story of another legend: Jacky Ickx. An exceptional driver who has put his name in the history books by feats achieved in several motorsports disciplines, and a longstanding Chopard ambassador, Jacky Ickx - nicknamed Mr Le Mans - can lay claim to six victories in this legendary case, of which four at the wheel of Porsche!
As part of its collaboration with Porsche Motorsport, Chopard presented the Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition dedicated to the new Porsche 919 Hybrid. This sophisticated COSC chronometer-certified flyback chronograph, picking up the design codes of the racing car, is issued in a 919-piece limited edition.
