Every year, the Geneva Motor Show brings together a host of the most technologically advanced, most futuristic, efficient and performance oriented machines produced annually. The Geneva Motor Show 2014 in March will display all of those goodies while also having a special display celebrating the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The special display will bring together 20 former Le Mans racing cars and is being organised by Automobile Club de I’Ouest which actually organises the 24 Hours of Le Mans annually along with Rolex. The cars on display will trace the history of this infamous endurance race. All will be on loan from the Automobile Museum of the Sarthe where the cars are stored at the Le Mans circuit.
