"ABARTH" exhibition
Karl Abarth was born on November 15, 1908 (zodiac sign Scorpio) in Vienna, Austria.
He moved to Italy at the end of the Second World War and set up his eponymous stable in Turin.
He worked on the development of his preparation and racing division, based on Italian models (Cisitalia, Fiat, Porsche, Simca, etc.) and on the brand’s own models.
He has made a name for himself in the construction of distinctive-sounding exhaust pipes.
The tuner has made a specialty of working on popular cars with modest power outputs to turn them into authentic sports cars.
This exhibition is an opportunity to pay tribute to this genius builder with a fine record of competition success.

"JAGUAR Centenary" Exhibition
initially based in blackpool, the company, which went by many names (Swallow Sidecar company, Swallow Sidecar & coach building company, Swallow coachbuilding company), moved to coventry, the center of the British automotive industry, and became SS for Standard Swallow.
The first SS1, SS90 and SS100 models are a great success.
William Walmsley left the business and on March 23, 1945, William Lyons renamed his company Jaguar.
From then on, a string of iconic models followed, including the XK series, whose engines won the Le Mans 4 times (1951, 1955, 1956 and 1957) in the c and
d. At the same time, the brand continued to offer plush sedans, but always with a propensity for sportiness, right up to the mKii, which won renown in competition.
1961 sees the presentation of “the most beautiful car of all time” according to Enzo Ferrari, the legendary XKe or type
e.

Exhibition "100ᵉ anniversary of the 1ʳᵉ Sahara crossing".
At the beginning of 1921, André Citroën launched the project for the first automobile crossing of the Sahara.
On December 17, 1922, 5 Citroën b2s equipped with “Kégresse” caterpillars named Scarabée d’Or, Crescent d’Argent, Tortue Volante, Boeuf Apis and Chenille Crawante set off from Touggourt in Algeria, reaching Timbuktu, in French Sudan at the time, on January 7, 1923.
They followed the trail in the opposite direction, skirting the Niger River to the south and looping around Gao to meet the Tuaregs before heading back to Algiers.
10 men and… the dog Flossie successfully accomplished this feat, which paved the way for other expeditions.
This exhibition tells the story of this adventure through documents, period photos, objects and drawings.

"Louis ROSIER: FROM RESISTANCE TO ENDURANCE" exhibition
Espace Mémoriel de la Résistance et de la Déportation The Circuit des Remparts and the Espace Mémoriel have decided to honor Louis Rosier, famous racing driver, manufacturer, team owner, owner of the largest Renault dealership in France in the 50s, but also a member of the French Resistance known as the “Cheminant”.
Mythical winner of the 24 h of Le Mans, in 1950, at the wheel of the Talbot Lago T26 GS 4.5 L #110055, after having driven, without stint, 23 hours and 10 minutes, he will build, in 1953, a barquette for the 24 h of Le Mans which will finish in 23ᵉ position.
This is the same barquette that will take 5ᵉ place at the Circuit des Remparts in 1955 and will be present on the circuit this Sunday.
Thanks to Elodie Rosier, who embarked on “l’Aventure Louis Rosier” in the footsteps of her grandfather and gave us access to the memories of this great driver who died too soon, following an accident at Montlhéry on October 7, 1956, at the wheel of a Ferrari 750 Monza.

"COSTA ART CAR LMP2" exhibition
Fernando costa, a self-taught sculptor and welder, uses old road signs, street signs and other scrap metal supports as raw materials, which he recycles into works of art.
He cuts, carves and reassembles them by welding them onto iron plates.
In 2013, he was chosen to create art for the 90th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 18th in the line initiated by hervé poulain.
Fernando costa has created a one-of-a-kind work of art, this Lmp2, which originally raced at Le Mans, has become a metal sculpture blending references to the 24 h of Le Mans with road safety.

"COMPLÈTEMENT DINGO" exhibition
For over forty years, Dingo has been putting his madness into visual creation for cars and motorcycles.
Hundreds of magazine covers, dozens of advertising campaigns, photos and videos and, now, a poster: for the 2022 remparts!
Dingo was quick to accept the project, admiring the general joie de vivre generated by all the events on the remparts circuit over the course of a weekend.
We’re delighted to present a free exhibition open to all in the pedestrian street, featuring 60 visuals representative of the artist’s work. These are now recurring exhibitions, so they should appear for every year.
Portraits de Pilotes” exhibition Every year, the streets of Angoulême are adorned with portraits of drivers who have left their mark on the history of the Circuit des Remparts.
