What it looks like

Their name, on our backs and on the car

Every partner is printed on the back of the official polo, worn by members all season: in the workshop, on company visits and in the Silverstone paddock. The same logos dress the bodywork of the #17 and the thank-you board on the stand.

We also document what each contribution made possible: the part produced, the test carried out, the trip funded.

Each logo leads to the company's profile: what it does, and what it actually brings to the car.

Logistics and partnership

A unit in Haute-Saintonge, lent by the district council

Without storage, there is no car between two seasons.

The Haute-Saintonge district council is one of our partners: it lends us this unit, separate from the circuit garage. This is where the car is stored, prepared and loaded before every trip.

This is where the #17 left from for Silverstone in July 2026, and where it came back. In the days before departure, the team gathered there to finish the car, day and night.

Thanks to this loan, we have a space of our own to work on the car, keep it from one season to the next and prepare it calmly before every trip.

Thank you to the Haute-Saintonge district council for its trust.
