24h Le Mans
During the recent screening of the official 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans film, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing technical director Pascal Vasselon donated the coveralls worn by this year's overall winners to Pierre Fillon, president of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest. Soon the items will be added to the permanent collection at the 24 Hours Museum.
The permanent collection at the 24 Hours Museum is about to get even better. During the evening organised to screen the official 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans film at the CGR theatre in Saint-Saturnin, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing technical director Pascal Vasselon donated the coveralls worn by the winners of the 87th running of the race, namely Sébastien Buemi, Kazuki Nakajima and Fernando Alonso: "These are the actual coveralls worn by Sébastien, Kazuki and Fernando, and they have not been laundered so as to preserve their authenticity. The dream would be to bring one of the winning Toyotas, but we've only won twice and they are still very much a part of the world of Toyota, traveling all over the globe."
The 24 Hours Museum provides a one-of-a-kind, immersive experience into the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. All of the great marques are represented there...Bentley, Ferrari, Jaguar, Ford, Porsche, Audi…and Toyota among them thanks to this generous gift of the three winners' coveralls.
Until 23 February 2020, the 24 Hours Museum is featuring a temporary exposition about the film "Le Mans 66" as well as the 1966 running of the race.
