Who we are
A driver's club founded in 1928 by an aero-engine machinist who opened his hangar to twelve drivers on Sunday mornings. Its one rule: one line, no correction.
Histoire
A line through time
Ninety-eight years, one long silence, and a cellar of logbooks that waited for the right hands.
Twelve drivers
In the aircraft hangar where he works, Étienne Lévrier opens the doors to twelve drivers and writes the club's first rule on the wall.
Montlhéry, 24 hours
Four members share one car for a full day on the banking and average 187.4 km/h. It is still the club record.
Silence
The club closes. Its logbooks are walled up in the chalk cellar beneath the family house.
The cellar opens
Clémence Lévrier, Étienne's great-granddaughter, finds the logbooks, restores the hangar and reopens the club.
La Méridienne
The club drives the Paris Meridian for the first time, 1,000 km from Dunkerque to Perpignan. It has been the club's June drive ever since.
Voix
The people who run it
Clémence Lévrier
Présidente
“My great-grandfather's rule was one line, no correction. We still drive by it.”
Hugo Marchetti-Roux
Chief Instructor
“Nobody here is faster than the car. We teach you to find out how fast it really is.”
Anaïs Ferrand
Head of Garage
“Your car leaves the bay the way you'd want to find it: charged, clean and ready.”
L'Atelier
Cared for by hand
Two detailing bays, hand work only. Leather fed, carbon polished, paint protected, before every drive.
