Porsche and Chopard Partnership fruition at Le Mans 2015
Porsche 919 Hybrid achieve 1st and 2nd places on the podium at Le Mans 2015.
They started the race with the world record for qualifying lap, shaving nearly 5 seconds off and a 1-2-3 on the grid!
Chopard ambassador Romain Dumas was spotted with his Chopard Superfast watch on his wrist whilst driving his stints.
Porsche extended 'family' member and Chopard Ambassador Jacky Ickx joined the celebrations together with other Porsche 'pilots' like his Winning team mate Derek Bell.
Many words were spoken (mostly in German) and much champagne was sprayed.
To the victor the spoils and the laurels but check out the timepieces worn by top Porsche management by time keeping partner Chopard.
Can you guess the Chopard watch model ?
Historical Tidbit:
The tradition of champagne spraying from the winners' podium started at Le Mans and is copied by other motorsports racers since.
PuristSPro are proud to have brought you the Live reports with more to follow.
