On the last day of June, Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille lived up to its reputation and the 18,000 spectators enjoyed a Sunday in the country, parades of exceptional cars as well as numerous activities for young and old alike. It was also the theatre of several celebrations of different anniversaries: Bentley’s and Ballot’s centenary, Bugatti’s 110th, the 50th of iconic 917 Porsche, the Zonda Pagani’s 20th and the 50th of Jackie Stewart’s Formula 1 world title with Matra. Nine concept-cars were in competition for the Concours d’Elegance.

The fourth Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille held on Sunday 10 September at the Chantilly Estate fulfilled all its promises. 16 300 spectators were attracted by the automobiles on show. 720 S For the Concours d’Etat, Peter Auto decided to celebrate in its own way Ferrari’s 70th anniversary with the Le Mans 24 Hours as the main theme. Twenty-eight Cavallino Rampante machines, all of which had taken part in the most famous endurance race, were gathered together for the occasion and divided into five classes: certainly one of the most beautiful celebrations of this anniversary…
A great novelty that will perhaps set a precedent: since it is very difficult to compare a pre-war car with a post-war build, Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille will henceforth award 2 Best of Show.
