The first bronze plaque with the handprints of the winning team was set into the pavement in Le Mans town centre 24 years ago. Since then, every year the three winning drivers have their handprint taken for a plaque that is unveiled by the drivers themselves the following year, in the week before the race.
Fans now have the opportunity to purchase a replica of these plaques from our online store. Plaques of the 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013 races are available, as are the plaques of Jacky Ickx’s and Henri Pescarolo’s hands and feet.
Twenty years after the first plaque was installed in town, Jean-Claude Plassart, former president of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, Doctor Wolfgang Ullrich, Head of Audi Sport and Olivier Quesnel, former director of Peugeot Sport made a plaque with their handprints which was unveiled in the village area of the circuit in 2011.
You can now add “handprints” to your wish list for Father’s Day or your birthday!
