Pierre Fillon and Jean Todt officially opened the exhibition in an area close to the replica of the office that witnessed the inception of the ACO in 1906. This is the starting point of the exhibition that stretches along the walkway between Hall 1 and Hall 2.2 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.

Pierre Fillon, the first to speak, evoked the independence, continuity, ethics and passion that have fuelled the ACO since its creation in 1906. Jean Todt went on to pay tribute to the technological vision that has driven the ACO for more than a century and which is illustrated today by the hybrid prototypes that have monopolised the winner’s rostrum at the 24 Hours of Le Mans since 2012.

The next date in the diary of Pierre Fillon and Jean Todt will be the press conference on Friday 5 February when the teams invited to compete in the 84th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans will be announced, as well as the entry list for the 2016 World Endurance Championship and the European Le Mans Series.
