Shortly after 18:00, the LMPH2G travelled a short distance in the heart of the city, from the Préfecture to Place de la République, scene of the scrutineering sessions. The pre-race procedure saw all 62 three-driver crews and their cars take turns to undergo checks and greet the crowds of fans. In a few years, the hydrogen car will have moved from sideline demonstrations to the spotlight as part of the race. The MissionH24 project aims to introduce a class for hydrogen cars at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 2024.
The impressive car was greeted with enthusiasm. Olivier Lombard, the driver: “It is the first time I’ve driven a racing car in town. It was important for GreenGT to make this technology public. A few months ago, we wouldn’t have imagined bringing a hydrogen prototype into town.”
The LMPH2G will be back in action on Saturday, at 14:42, just before the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
In the meantime, you are invited to the MissionH24 press conference at Stand Maison Blanche, at the racetrack, with Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, Christophe Ricard, president of GreenGT and the MissionH24 team, at 14:30 on Thursday 13 June.
Scrutineering came to an end yesterday evening and today teams were back at the track for the official driver photo.
